Photo's Of East Yorkshire Railways

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mick, for that excellent photo’ of Ex F3, now N13, at Springhead, c1952. 

 

This evening more photo’s from knoxrj, on Flickr. 

 

The first one is of D3, 4345, and the caption states it is on the 09.20 Leeds to Bridlington service, on the 23rd August, 1930. However, although the date may be right, I am unsure of the location, it could be the carriage sidings to the south of Bridlington, with the main running lines to the extreme right of the photo’.

 

 

The second photo’ is of C12, 4543, at Hull Paragon station. It looks like it could be the early 1930’s. The train might be a working to either Brough or Beverley.

 

 

Thirdly we have C12, 4524, but more confusion, unfortunately. It is stated to be at Hornsea, but clearly it cannot be so. The train is coming off single track, and going over a crossing. It’s possible it could be on the Withernsea line. Actual location details would be most welcome.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ of B2, 5424, at Hull Paragon station, in c1933. There are no other details.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening we have a further set of four photo’s thanks to knoxrj, on Flickr. 

 

The first one is of class D22, 1537, on the turntable at Bridlington shed. Possibly in the early 1930’s.

 

 

The second photo’ is of a class D17/1, 1620, at an exhibition at Hull Paragon station in the 1930’s. Also one the single diesel railcars can be seen. Sadly, details of these exhibitions seem to have disappeared.

 

 

The third photo’ is of Q5, 1177, when it was stored at Springhead.

 

 

Finally, we have class B16/1, 843, leaving Market Weighton, on the Driffield line, for Bridlington, in August, 1936. Market Weighton’s East up distant can be seen on the left.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

In view of the emblem on the tender side, probably a bit later than 1952?

Indead, I copied what was on the scan, working from Thumbnails can be dangerious.

Looks like whilst work was going on to convert the depot for DMU use. Scaffolding nearly in view for 1 & 2 road plus the Hymers side of 5 road.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, many thanks, Mick, for the photo’ of Jubilee, 45705, Seahorse, at Botanic Gardens, in the days when it was being converted prior to becoming a diesel depot for the new DMU’s.

 

This evening we have another four photo’s courtesy of knoxrj, on Flickr. 

 

The first photo’ is of V2, 60966, as it passes Scarborough Londesborough Road station, on a summer Saturday extra or a summer Sunday excursion. The first two carriages are one of the Gresley steel twin-arts.

 

 

The second photo’, is one of B16/1, 928, at Driffield, taking the line to Market Weighton and then either Selby or York, on the 10th August, 1935. The train is composed entirely of LMS corridor stock. 
 

 

The next photo’ is of B13, 756, near to North Howden, in about early 1934. 
 

 

Finally, we have a photo’ of D17/1, 1622, at Hull Paragon station in c1933. It appears to be backing onto some not visible carriages. In the left background can be seen a Sentinel steam railcar. 
 

Best regards,

24 August 1952, 45707 Valiant Botanic. This is the one I had intended to post yesterday.

[micknich2003]

4524 further  to picture a few posts back, if on Withernsea Branch possibly Ryehill and coming off the Single Line from Hedon.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, many thanks, Mick, for that excellent photo’ from the 24th August, 1952, of 45707, Valiant, at Botanic Gardens. 

And, I’m confident that you are right about Ryehill and Burstwick, it’s the only location that makes sense regarding that earlier photo’. And thanks for the signalling diagram. 

 

This evening, we are having four more photo’s courtesy of knoxrj, on Flickr. All but one are of D17’s. 

 

The first one is of B13, 748, whilst in store at Hull Springhead. 
 

 

The second photo’ shows D17, 1925, on a Leeds to Bridlington train, blasting up Enthorpe bank, c1933. A train composed entirely of ex-NER non corridor stock.

 

 

The next photo’ is one of a D17, 1922, at Ferrriby, on an unknown date. 
 

 

Finally, we have a photo’ of a D17, 1909, again at Ferriby, in 1932. The train is a three car set of ex-NER non corridors, BT, CL, BT.

 

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

This evening, we have another four photo’s to enjoy by knoxrj, on Flickr.

 

The first photo’ is of D20, 2103, at Ferriby, in May, 1933, according to the caption. Note the fish vans at the front of the formation.

 

 

The second photo’ shows D20, 2017, at 14.00, on a train from York, via Market Weighton, at Cottingham South Junction, in the early 1930’s.

 

 

Next we have a photo’ of class D22, 1546, at Hull Paragon station, on the 26th May, 1933.

Best regards,

 

Rob.

Brough East signalbox.

 

Interesting picture Mick. Did that boom gate interlock with something seems to have an extension of some sort

Does anyone know if powered ones were separately operated or did they alway work in tandem? 

I've got a crossing that currently has 2 manual gates on a double track line. But having found that there was a set on the GE mainline in Norfolk I fancy modelling some

[micknich2003]

Russ, the Boom Gates only clossed off the roadway, they were electricly worked and worked together. The ref on the photo was to the original set up with mechanical gates and four lines. If you want to model "Boom Gates" I made drawings when I was signalman, just ask.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, with thanks again to knoxrj, on Flickr, we have four more local photo’s to enjoy.

 

The first photo’ is of class D22, 1546, at Botannic Gardens, on the 4th June, 1933 - according to the caption it was the last D22 at Hull. 
 

 

The second photo’ is one of class D23, 1107, again at Botanic Gardens. No date is given.

 

 

Thirdly, we have a photo’ of class D17, 1633, on the 14.05 to Doncaster at Hessle, on Sunday the 7th April, 1934. Note the carriages. The first one is a former GNR six wheel, BT, and is followed by a GNR tri-art, then a GNR twin-art. The final vehicles are a little difficult to properly indentify. 

 

 

Finally, we have a photo’ of B17/1, 2833, Kimbolton Castle, at Hull Paragon station, in the early 1930’s, backing out after bringing in the 10.10 a.m., express from York via Market Weighton. Next it would be turned and then haul the Banbury fish as far as Doncaster. All part of that ‘Doncaster Triangle’ of daily workings.

 

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

Thwaite Gatebox, Cottingham, c1983.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, many thanks, Mick, for that excellent photo’ of Thwaite Gatebox, Cottingham, c1983.

 

This evening, courtesy of knoxrj, on Flickr, we have four more photo’s to enjoy.

 

The first one is of class B17/1, 2837, Thorpe Hall, on the Banbury fish, from Hull, as far as Doncaster, in March, 1933.

 

 

The second photo’ is one of a class J39, curving away from Driffield, on the line to Market Weighton, in 1935. The train will almost certainly be a return excursion, and is made up,almost entirely of ex-NER non corridor stock, apart from the first carriage which appears to be of ex-H&BRlwy origin.

 

 

Next is another class J39, 1496, at Ferriby, in 1933, on a mixed freight train. 
 

 

Finally, here is a photo’ of class D49/1, 62723, Nottinghamshire, leaving Filey, in July, 1960, on a service to Scarborough. The train has two fish vans at the front and then two Thompson non corridor carriages, with a Gresley teak bodied CL, of two first class compartments, and five second class compartments.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

I always think of the B17s as East Anglian engines. Keep forgetting they strayed this far up north and also did regular runs to/from Sheffield.

Not just Sheffield, also Manchester and occasional forays to Liverpool too in this period.

Beverley Park signalbox.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, many thanks, Mick, for posting that excellent photo’ of Beverley Parks signal box. 

 

This evening we have a further four photo’s, cof knoxrj, on Flickr.

 

The first one is of class B1, 61024, Addax, on Bridlington shed, along with a 30/31, and a 37. The date is the 17th May, 1964.

 

 

The second photo’ shows a class D20, 2355, on a local train, in post war days, with an ex-GER BTK, followed by an ex-GNR, locker composite, and finally two ex-NER non corridor carriages.

 

 

Thirdly we have an ex-GNR 4-4-0, 4350, on a train which appears to be on the approach to Beverley from Hull. A typical four carriage formation makes up the train.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ of D17, 1628, on Bridlington shed in what appears to be the 1930’s. 
 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, it’s time for a further four photo’s courtesy of knoxrj, on Flickr.

 

The first photo’, is of class D20, 1051, which has derailed at what looks to be at the station end of the carriage sidings at Bridlington. No date is given.

 

 

The second photo’ is one which is of Park Street, Hull, in July, 1951. It is of a class C12, 67392, and an ex-GER corridor third.

 

 

Next we have a photo’, at the same location, of class A6, 69796, in August, 1951.

 

 

Finally, here is a photo’ of class L1, 67755, on what, is described in the caption as “Sunday train to Hornsea leaving Botanic Gardens”. No date is given.

 

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, we have four more photo’s, courtesy of knoxrj, on Flickr.

 

The first one shows class J25, 65693, on a long train of open wagons, in the deep cutting at Little Weighton, in possibly the early 1950’s.

 

 

The second photo’ is of class A6, 69791, on a Sunday Hornsea train, near to Sutton, in July, 1951. Note the mucky state of both the engine and first carriage, and the boy in the door window.

 

 

Thirdly, we have a photo’ of class C2, 3986, on a three carriage train, departing from  Driffield, on the line to Market Weighton, in possibly the early 1930’s. 

Now, here is a mystery which I cannot explain. I have never seen that headlamp code on what I can only assume is a passenger train before. Does anyone know what means?

 

 

Finally, we see class C6, 1680, at Hull Paragon station sometime in the 1930’s. Two fish vans lead the formation, and I wonder if the train is an early afternoon departure for Scarborough?

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.
