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, Rob. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 31, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2023 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. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddaby Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 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! Kevin 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted January 1 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Market65 Posted January 3 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 3 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.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Market65 Posted January 4 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 4 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.

EddieK Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 On 27/12/2023 at 14:09, The Stationmaster said: 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.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 5 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5 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.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Market65 Posted January 7 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 7 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.
