RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 24, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2018 Many thanks, Mick, for such excellent photos. Please keep them coming when you can. Tonight I have a photo of Oxmardyke box taken from a train. It’s cropped on the left of the photo as a result of that, but I thought it would be worth posting since, in a few weeks it will no longer exist. Best regards, Rob. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob, it will still be there in a few weeks, the resignalling has been put back, and now possibly next year. I have been told Oxmadike is to survive, for non signalling use, time will tell.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 24, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2018 Thank you for that information, Mick. I wonder what has happened? Anyway, I am glad the box and signals will survive for a bit longer. Best regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve1 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The Wheldrake DVLR station building, which has been deteriorating for years, appears now to be under restoration. I noticed this while going past in the car on the way back from a trip to the DVLR open day, coincidentally. steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
waggy Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hi Steve, i thought the station building at Murton was from Wheldrake, or have i got it wrong ? could be an age thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J25 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 It will be Thorganby station as this has been left to decay for some time (possibly after a planning dispute over a proposed change of use many years ago). The building at Wheldrake was, indeed, dismantled and most of it reconstructed at Murton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someomeone please name the location? 1 D No1869 4-4-0.jpg Mick, 1869 is one of the pair of NER Q1 locomotives built in 1896, as I'm sure you know. The tender seems to carry the early form of NER crest, so the picture was probably taken early in the career of the locomotive. RCTS Part 3C says they were used on the East Coast Main Line northwards to Edinburgh and south to York, initially. The architecture of the buildings in the background, coupled with the height above the railway, suggests Edinburgh as the location, I think.
