Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Graham, for the number of that second K3 at Filey Holiday Camp. I can only guess that the copy of the photo’ which you have will be a good deal clearer than the copy of it from Flickr. I knew that the first K3, 61913, was a Dairycoates engine, so it comes as no surprise that the other K3, 61893, was also from there. 
Bill, it was a pleasure to post that photo’ which I found on Flickr, and the whole scene would make a most excellent model. 
 

Well, for this evening, courtesy of a photo’ by JohnGreyTurner, on Flickr, we go back to Hull, and on Dairycoates, on a Sunday, in 1967, we can see a good number of EE Type 3’s, mostly with small yellow panels on their nose ends, having their day off.

I wonder how the one in the foreground has picked up a headcode surround from a full yellow end example,  not as if they were been scrapped  and is a bit of an effort to change them

More common than you may  think having a yellow head code hinged front, it also wasn't unknown for a GFYE one to have a green panel. Usually swapped due to a bump or faulty route indicator mechanism.

Nice detail with the front right Loco receiving a replacement head code box surround off a full yellow end example! 
 

edited to say yes I hadn’t seen that this had been commented upon already…

Another great photo full of atomsphere! Funny enough, I have been watching 40106 running up and down the SVR today. 
Bit of a daft question, what is the tall building in the background? Hull Royal Infirmary? 
Regards,

Bill. 

[s182ggu]

You're absolutely right, Bill. 

[billywhizz]

Thanks Graham. 
we moved away from Hull when I was quite young but couldn’t remember that many tall commercial buildings in the city. The only other one I could think of was the college my Dad studied at when taking his merchant navy officer exams. But I don’t recall the college being that big. 
Cheers. 
Bill.

Good evening, everyone. This evening we go to Scarborough, but not for the fair, but to see an excursion train in platform one from Clacton. It’s a photo’ from the KDH archive on Flickr, and it shows, on the 25th August, 1980, 37082, on that Clacton excursion. Goodness knows when the train would get back to Clacton, but it must have been very late at night.
 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, courtesy of a photo’ by Pete Leathard, on Flickr, we go to Goole, on the 5th October, 1986, and look at a withdrawn class 25, 25257, at Goole Docks.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, courtesy of a photo’ from the KDH archive on Flickr, we go to Cave crossing on the line from Hull to Selby. It shows 31460, with it’s number scrawled crudely on the lower cab front, hauling the 15.xx service from Hull to Liverpool, on the 10th May, 1987.

Good evening, everyone. This evening we go to Scarborough, thanks to a further photo’ from the KDH archive on Flickr. It is the 3rd March, 1984, and 45111 is departing on the 15.00 service to Liverpool. Note the dirty carriages.

 

Best regards,

Good evening, everyone. This evening we stay in Scarborough, courtesy of a photo’from the KDH archive on Flickr. It shows the sole preserved V2, 4771, Green Arrow. It is running into the station on the 3rd August, 1986, on the 10.00 a.m. from York.

Good evening, everyone. Well for this evening, and thanks to a photo’ by Syd Young on Flickr, we stay in Hull, and visit Paragon Station on the 21st February, 1979, which was a very cold and gloomy day. We see Deltic, 55012, Crepello, running light engine, from the station and going under Park Street bridge. It had arrived on train 1D02, the 12.04 London King’s Cross to Hull. Note the filthy condition of Crepello.

Hopefully, it'll steam again. I believe a return to service is one of the NRM's plans.

Only as the NRM has changed it's rules - the only reason it couldn't steam again was that if the NRM replaced a cracked monobloc cylinder lining the loco would not be 'as withdrawn' and fall foul of rules for items preserved by the NRM.

 

It is interesting to read that they are now considering Green Arrow, I guess money talks, they must see more value from having it steam than stuffed and mounted.

 

Flying Scotsman never fell under this rule because it was a mongrel by the time they took ownership so there was nothing to preserve.

Interesting and I hope you're right.

 

Two reasons I haven't bought one from Locomotion. One is it's not running at present and the other is that I have other priorities but I'd like one if it was on the mainline again.

Morning Rob

Strange signalling in that one platform has a route indicator and adjacent one doesn't.  Did these signals show yellow and red or were the green and red with a distant signal before the next one ?

[micknich2003]

Russ, here is the Paragon layout and signalling,  has you can see P61 signal only had one route, hence no Route Indicator. Yours, Mick.

Cheers Mick,  do some signals have a green aspect leading to a possible red aspect?  Didn't realise it had been so complicated when was it simplified and the North side platforms closed

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and thank you,  Mick, for reproducing the signalling diagram of Hull Paragon from the 24th April, 1938. 
Now, this evening, thanks to Syd Young on Flickr, we have ‘two photo’s for the price of one’. They enlarge very nicely, and show, in the top photo’ a class 47, 1520, and an unidentified example, with, on the right a class 37, 6701, which became 37001. 
The second photo’ is one which was taken, looking the other way to Botanic Gardens Depot, with two green liveried class 20’s, and various DMU’s. The date is March, 1971.
