Class B No78, Springhead sand drier in background.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, many thanks, Mick, for the photo’ of Class B No78, at Springhead, with the sand drier in background. It is an excellent portrait of the locomotive.

 

This evening, we four photo’s courtesy of Andy Hughes, Richard Stewart, and knoxrj, on Flickr.

 

The first one is a view of class D20, 2103, at Hull Paragon station, in 1932. Note two fish vans at the front of the train.

 

 

The next photo’ shows class D22, 85, on Hull pilot duties, on the 1st November, 1931.

 

 

The third photo’ is a view of a train, running 80 minutes late, due to points failure at Scarborough, and showing signs of Scarborough's budding Pablo Picasso's work the previous night. 47854 takes the Anlaby Road avoiding line at Hull West Parade North Junction at the head of Green Express Railtours / Railtourer, train 1Z54, the 07:45 Scarborough to Carlisle, on the 10th July, 2004.

 

 

Finally, we have a photo’ of 47593 "Galloway Princess" as it arrives at Hull Paragon on train 5Z26, an ECS from Doncaster West Yard, with 47712 out of sight on the rear. The date is reportedly the 23rd September, 2020.

 

 

Best regards,

Good evening, everyone. This last evening of 2023 we have a further four photo’s to enjoy. They are courtesy of Neville Wellings, John Law, John Turner and Richard Stewart, all on Flickr.

 

The first photo’ is on the 29th December, 1982, with, Black 5, 5305, passing Driffield. It is on a 'Santa Special' which had Sir Lamiel from York to Hull with 777 recorded at 84mph in a published log. 5305 took over for the run to Scarborough and York. 

I recall that record breaking run, and it was most thrilling! Everyone was saying that a speed over over 80 mph had been attained.

 

 

The second photo’ is of ex- H&BRlwy, 3060, at Springhead, Hull, in c1923.

 

 

Thirdly, we have the long since closed Scarborough Signal Box, with 40001 in the right background, on the 15th June, 1984.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ of 37425 "Sir Robert McAlpine/Concrete Bob" passing Driffield on train, 3J51, the York Thrall to York Thrall via East Yorkshire RHTT, with 37419 on the rear. It is dated as the 22nd November, 2023.

 

Best regards, 

 

Rob.

Good evening, and Happy New Year, everyone. On this first day of the new year, we can enjoy a new batch of four photo’s. They are courtesy of knoxrj, ricsrailpics, John Law, and John Turner, all on Flickr.

 

The first one is a view of class B1, 61306, now preserved, at Hull Paragon, on the 30th January, 1966. 

 

 

Next we have a photo’ of class B1, 61131, on Bridlington shed, on the 18th May, 1952.

 

 

The third photo’ is a shot of 0-6-0, 2477, on Springhead shed, Hull, sometime in the early 1930’s.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ of WD "Austerity" 2-8-0, 90009, as it shunts sidings in the King George Dock estate located opposite the factory of the Marfleet Refining Company on Hedon Road, Hull, in about 1967.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

OMG, better known locally as the Cod Liver Oil factory, a place that had a very distinctive smell. It also brought back unpleasant memories of taking the stuff as a child. I think it was issued free to families as a source of Vitamin C (??)

At about the time of the photo, I remember going on a school Field Trip to visit the factory. The smell inside was equally pungent, and no one wanted a free sample at the end!!

Nice shot of the WD as well!

Pretty sure it was the vitamin D rather than C and today of course as a source of Omega-3 oils - not sure that was recognised at the time.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening we have another four photo’s to enjoy, and they are courtesy of Richard Stewart, SNAPPER60809, and knoxrj, all on Flickr.

 

The first photo’ shows class K3, 61957, at Hull Botanic Gardens level crossing, Hull, on the 8th August, 1962. The policeman will be noted.

 

 

The second one is a shot of class D49/2, 62745, The Hurworth, about to depart, on a train, at Bridlington, on the 25th August, 1956. It is a busy scene, which will never be like that again. 
 

 

Thirdly, we have a photo’ of 47712 "Lady Diana Spencer" as it passes Lowfield Lane on train, 5Z47, from Crewe to Hull, the Statesman ECS, with 47805 on the rear, on the 28th November, 2023.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’, from the 14th April, 2013, and working wrong line, and "clagging" nicely, towards Paragon station as they pass Hymers College is 20301 & 20303 with a train of new sleepers and ballast for use at the site of the track renewals in the vicinity of Argyll Street in Hull.

 

Best regards,

Hi Andy, yes you are right:

 

"9 Science-Backed Benefits of Cod Liver Oil

High in vitamins A and D. ...

May reduce inflammation. ...

May improve bone health. ...

May reduce joint pain and improve rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. ...

May support eye health. ...

May reduce heart disease risk. ...

May improve symptoms of anxiety and depression. ...

May help heal stomach and gut ulcers."

 

I still take a capsule a day, it does seem to help with my knees!!

 

Cheers,

Hi Rob, happy new year to all on here

Can't believe that ballast work was almost 11 years ago. I was on some of those trains. I think it was over 2 or 3 weekends 

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, with thanks to Philip Wheldale, John Turner, The KDH archive, and knoxrj, all on Flickr, we have four more photo’s to enjoy.

 

The first one is a view of WD "Austerity" 2-8-0, 90450, as it heads towards Salt End with a train of Esso tank wagons, in c1967.

 

 

Secondly, we have a photo’ at Hull Paragon station, of class J21, 1513, sometime in the 1930’s, on what I think may be secondary passenger train, after the headlamp is suitably changed.

 

 

The third photo’ is a shot, on the 20th March, 2015, of 47847, at Gilberdyke, on train 4D94, the 10:30 Doncaster Down Decoy to Hull CT.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ of 47520, which is seen leaving for Kings Cross on the 1D24 Hull portion of the 13.16 service seen on 30th November 1974. The class 03 station pilot is to be seen to on the right.

 

Best regards,

Ex H&BRly Class L No161, now J28 2542.

[heavymetalwagons]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, with thanks to Philip Wheldale, John Turner, The KDH archive, and knoxrj, all on Flickr, we have four more photo’s to enjoy.

 

The first one is a view of WD "Austerity" 2-8-0, 90450, as it heads towards Salt End with a train of Esso tank wagons, in c1967.

 

anyone know what the "DEEP" code on the wagon refers too ,not seen it before ?

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mick, for posting that superb photo’ of ex-H&BRly Class L No161, now J28, 2542.

 

This evening we have four photo’s to enjoy. They are courtesy of John Turner, Charlie Verrall, and ricsrailpics, all on Flickr.

 

The first one is an interesting photo’, which although no location is given, from the look of the scenery I think it is Weaponess, near to Scarborough. It shows D17/2, 1923, in probably that year or not long after.

 

 

The second photo’ shows a view from the train as it runs past Scarborough (Londesborough Road) excursion platforms. 3442 & 62005 are in charge, on the 6th March, 1965. The train is, of course, The Whitby Moors Railway to acknowledge the closure of the Scarborough to Whitby and Grosmont to Pickering lines from the following Monday.

 

 

Thirdly, we have a photo’ showing Eastfield (ED) allocated, 47659, as it passes Hull Inward Yard with what is thought to be the short-lived Hull to Cardiff service, although another suggestion is the afternoon service to King's Cross which was sometimes hauled by a long range Class 47, on the 12th August, 1987.

 

 

Finally, we have a photo’ of 31206 & 31293 in charge of the Rylstone to Hull "Tilcon" stone train at Dairycoates, on the 9th September, 1986.

 

 

Best regards,

I was trying to remember if there were 6 or 8 sets of  'Air & Axle' lights?   However the WR Regional Appendix seems to indicate there were six sets because it says no more than six power cars running in multiple.

 

So that would equal 3 x 3 car sets each with two power cars and an intermediate trailer giving a  total of 9 vehicles in a train - unless some DETs were also attached or there was a set with two intermediate trailers thus giving alonger trains

If it was 5 twin sets in a power-trailer configuration that would be 10 coaches with five power cars.

That is more than likely a KGX service, as the Cardiff had finished by that date.

 

[Market65]

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

 

The first photo’ is a view of Dairycoates (50B) allocated WD "Austerity" 2-8-0, 90450, as it departs Salt End with a train of Shell/BP tank wagons, in c1967.

 

 

Next is a photo’ of Dairycoates (50B) allocated English-Electric Type 3, D6789, as it basks in the early morning sunshine at King George Dock, and is about to back onto a rake of oil tank wagons and presumably form train, 9T16, in c1969.

 

 

Now the third photo’ is a shot of class B16/1, 1371, at Cottingham South Junction, is what must be the later 1930’s.

 

 

Finally, here’s another photo’ of a class B16/1, 61474, this time at an unidentified location near Hull, but likely to be the mainline from Selby, in c1956. The first two carriages are an ex-NER non corridor 49 foot eight compartment all third, and then a Gresley teak bodied composite lavatory.

 

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

[45125]

The shot of 6789 on KGD is one of the handful of dual braked Type 3s Dairycoates had.

 

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening we have four photo’s courtesy of Simon Beeston and John Turner, both on Flickr.

The second photo’ shows BRCW 4-car DMU, class 104, (DMCL E50589 nearest camera) thought to be at Hedon Road Sidings, Hull, pictured during the RCTS (West Riding branch) 1Z02 "Hull Docks Rail Tour", on the 10th October, 1964.

 

 

Next we have a photo’ of 57315, on train 5Z26, the 11.22 Hull to Carnforth Steamtown, on the 16th March, 2014.

Best regards,

 

Rob.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening we have four more photo’s and they are courtesy of knoxrj, John Turner and Simon Beeston, all on Flickr.

 

The first photo’ is of class E5, 1468, with a suffix, which I have forgotten what it was for ex-NER locomotives. The location is Scarborough, and the year is given as 1925.

 

 

The second photo’ shows another view of WD "Austerity" 2-8-0, 90450, as it departs Salt End/King George Dock with a train of Shell/BP tank wagons, in c1967.

Finally, we have a photo’ of 37402 - which I have the  Accurascale model of - on the 12.22 Scarborough to Derby R.T.C, on the 14th September, 2013.

The first one is a photo’ of WD "Austerity" 2-8-0, 90450, as it waits for the road whilst departing Salt End/King George Dock with its train of Shell/Bp tank wagons, whilst classmate, 90009, heads in the opposite direction with a load of BR 16T mineral wagons, in c1967.

 

 

Next here’s a photo’ of class C12, 4517, on a Brough local at Hessle, in probably the late 1930’s.
