Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Mick, for posting that excellent photo’ of H & B Rly, No22, at Hemsworth Sidings. 

 

With thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see Thompson B1, 4-6-0, 61080, as it runs light towards the carriage sidings at Bridlington, in about August, 1963.
 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Not in 1963 .  ( bit surprised that they don’t have their nameplates on in 1963 ) 60145 would go on to become the last A1 in service . I do take your point of all the locos that past though Drapers it was a black five he saved .

You are correct, of course, I'd not read the date with the picture.

I saw, cabbed, and had a short ride on 60145 at York in, iirc, 1965.

Last A1 I ever saw.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, I want to update everyone about the removal of the footbridge at Beverley station. There is not much of it left now, as you can see from this photo’ I took on Thursday.

 

 

Now, this evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see WD, Austerity, 2-8-0, 90427, as it runs through North Ferriby station with a Hull-bound Class H freight, on the 26th October, 1963.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

If SAINT MUNGO had been around in 1968 then she might have stood a chance.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we have three photo’s, of Ellerby, on the former line from Hull to Hornsea, in August, 1964, and we see, in the first one,  three 2-car Cravens (later Class 105) DMUs accelerate away from Ellerby with a summer Saturday Hornsea Town to Hull service.

 

 

Now a photo’ of the signalbox.

 

 

And, finally, the wooden waiting shelter on the up platform.

 

 

 

Best regards, 

 

Rob.

Has the footbridge been saved for use elsewhere Rob?

Its being rebuilt/restored to original "open" form, the roof being a later addition.

I read recently (can’t remember where sadly) that there was a BR edict that all nameplates should be removed for collection at a central depot and those on Evening Star disappeared. Might even have been here on RMWeb. Was that just for Western Region locos? If national policy might explain the missing plates.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see Doncaster shed's B1 4-6-0, 61135, as it eases away from Brough station with a Hull bound ordinary passenger train in August, 1960. The first carriage is a BS of a twin art, non corridor, steel bodied set which means the second carriage is a CL.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Pretty sure it was national after they realised just how much the plates were worth.

I've seen the same post about the plates from Evening Star, and that they quietly reappeared.

A bit like one of the Falcons off 1200 at Ebbw Junction.

Looking through this thread, I am amazed at just how clean many of the locos were even just months before withdrawal. A credit to the area. (I grew up in Gloucester - Horton Road locos were in abominable condition in their last few years).

The Cravens car nearest the photographer is from the batch 56125 - 56129. These entered service with the 2 digit headcode box (LMR style of headcode box) and a marker lamp on the roof dome. Where the outer marker lamps would have been, there were circular blanking plates. They came from the factory like this, but were in a batch of vehicles with the "4 lamp" cab fronts. I suspect that the cab fronts were made with holes for the four lamps, and that it was a late design change to fit headcode boxes.

These 5 driving trailers were matched with motor coaches 50370 - 50374 that also had the same cab front arrangement.

These five units were to a similar configuration to the Class 114 units, 2 digit headcode and marker lamp on the roof dome.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, many thanks, Mick, for the signalling diagram of Ellerby, and thank you, too, EddieK, for the information about the Cravens cab end details. 

 

This evening, courtesy of John Turner, on Flickr, another of Dairycoates' Gresley K3’s, 61985, pauses at Brough with a Doncaster to Hull stopping train, in about 1961.

 

 

Best regards,

Various Hornsea Bridge signalling layouts, may inspire a modelling project.

 

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mick, for those signalling plans and diagrams of Hornsea Bridge. 
 

This evening, with thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we have three photo’s of Hornsea Town station, just a short distance from Hornsea Bridge, from August, 1964. The first photo’ shows four 2-car Cravens (later Class 105) DMUs at Hornsea Town station forming a Summer Saturday service to Hull.

 

This photo’ is of a close up of the other end of the train of Cravens units.
 

Finally, this photo’ shows the Hornsea Town signal box and water tower, complete with the windvane.
 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Hornsea, 1898, the signalling was later simplified, but the layout remained much the same until the end.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mick, for the excellent photo’ of H & B Rly, 2-4-0, number 40.

 

This evening we see three photo’s of Ottringham, in about August, 1964, on the branch to Withernesea, courtesy of John Turner, on Flickr. The first photo’ shows an unidentifiable 2-car Craven's (later TOPS Class 105) DMU, as it departs Ottringham with an afternoon Hull to Withernsea local service.
 

The next photo’ is of the double track through Ottringham station as it gave way to single line operation (as far as Patrington) here at the station's eastern end, and the main arm on the bracket signal gives access to that bi-directional single line, whilst the smaller shunting arm signalled entry to the headshunt for access to the goods yard and coal yard.
 

The third photo’ is of the main station building, and station master's house. 
 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Are the harvesters in an adjacent field? Whilst working on RMDRC’s Aylesbury Town, we turned up photos of harvesters arriving from Felixstowe on lowmacs, unloaded through the station end dock for delivery to the New Holland plant. These look like they’d be out of gauge.

Superb trackplan for a model.

[micknich2003]

Here is the later signalling, with the coming of DMU's the engine release was removed and likewise the turntable.

Afternoon Mick 

Was the crossing always just for a headshunt or was there plans for the line to go further?

Mmmm, running sub porn

45528 is an unusual engine for Little Weighton pick up, an early 1959 view.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone.  Firstly, thank you, Mick, for more excellent and informative postings, especially the photo’ of the track being lifted and the level crossing removed at Hornsea Town, plus that photo’ of 45528, at Little Weighton, in early 1959, which is a remarkable sight.
 

This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see Gresley D49/1, 62710 "Lincolnshire" on the turntable at Botanic Gardens, in about August, 1952.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.
