RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 9, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hello, everyone, and once more, many thanks to Mick for posting some fascinating photos. Please keep them coming. I’m late tonight, but have a photo’ which I took on Sunday at Cave LC. It shows the box, and one or two pieces of the yet to be commissioned new equipment. I hope you will find it of some interest. Best regards, Rob. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

s182ggu Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 V3 67686, Botanic shed. No details etc. 1 V3 67686 Botanic.jpg Hi Mick This looks to be amazingly clean and tidy!! Were these V3s the locos that were used on the Hawker Siddeley worker's trains that used to run from Paragon to Brough and back every day? I remember going spotting at Brough and then travelling back to Hessle on the stopping service in the late afternoon. As both the stopper and the non-stop services back to Hull used to leave Brough at the same time, there was quite frequently a race to see which one could get ahead before the first stop came up! Thanks for posting your collection of great pictures - they really are superb. Best Wishes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON6135 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Good evening. Just a little the wrong side of the border at Selby in North Yorkshire is this of the first IEP sets, 800201 & 800202, to make it in to Hull. It looks like the future has arrived! Two class 73s made it to Hull on a Neville Hill - Hull test train last night. 73961 & 73965.Paul410201865816.jpg410201865831.jpg 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clecklewyke Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I saw V3s in the early 60s on the "Brough workmans", which were quite an institution as I believe they were the last local trains to be steam powered. They were of 8 coaches and and as stated above their departure was fun as the two trains left simultaneously, one on the fast line non-stop to Hull and the other on the slow line, stopping at all stations. Wasn't the Brough factory still "Blackburn's" (as in the makers of the Blackburn Beverly) rather than Hawker Siddeley when these trains ran?

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 3, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hello, everyone. Thank you, Mick, for those most outstanding photos, and particularly the one you’ve just posted of Hutton Cranswick. That fills a gap in our local railway history. If I remember correctly, I saw some photos of the trains from Brough to Hull in a magazine article. But I can’t find it or remember which magazine it was. I’ll have another look for it as soon as I can. I know it showed the trains were formed of Gresley Quad Arts. Best regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Simple answer to that, would be yes as Blackburn's became Hawker Sidderely in 1960. I was there in the early 70's and by then the DMU's where providing a service of sorts. The real train to catch was on a Friday, the works closed at 12.00 noon and if you could get to the station quick enough there was a train to Hull which usually was powered by a "running in" loco from Doncaster works. More than often a class 31 with the chalk lines on the cab side for the numbers and a smell of hot paint coming from the engine room.

Funny things, memories. I could sware those coaches were BR Mk 1s! Even worse, somewhere in my cellar I have some of my own photos of these trains - but where?

clecklewyke Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I think I've asked this quwation before - certainly I have in other forums - but never gpt a satisfactory answer. Perhaps lovers of the East Riding railways will do better? Do you recall a large notice that stood in the grounds of Thomas Stratten School adjacent to the throat of Hull Paragon station? It implored engine drivers to avoid making loud moises, saying something like "School. Drivers please keep your engine quiet." I'd like to use this on Bradford North ~Western and I would like to get the wording correct. I wonder if Mr Nicholson has a photo. It must have been within view of his old signal box, West Parade.

D49 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Surely the photo of 67686 is at Darlington Works ?. Doesn't look like Botanic Gardens. Prior to he use of V1 and V3 locos on the Brough Workmens trains A5 and A8s were used. In later steam days LMR 2-6-0 locos also were used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 14, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2018 Thank you, Mick, for that superb photo’. I see the train is a typical mixture of BR Mk1, and Thompson stock. Sadly I have not yet located where I’ve put the magazine with the Brough workers trains in it. I’ll keep looking. Now I saw this quite strange coupling arrangement at Scarborough earlier today. It was between two Mk1’s. It’s something which I haven’t seen before. The train itself was the Scarborough Spa Express to Lancaster. Arriving there at 22.41.

Seen that a few times on WCRC stock, usually one of the vehicles is not charging so a jumper cable runs between the two vehicles charging sockets.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 14, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2018 Thank you, 45125, for the coupling explanation. It makes sense. Now here’s a traditional three quarter front view of the train, with Merchant Navy, 35018, British India Line. As usual, it was in platform one at Scarborough station.
