Luke123 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Is there any issues with roads being closed for the show? I saw a sign on Beverley Road this morning saying Spring Bank was shut from the railway crossing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 6, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2019 There’s been a burst water main along there, but, hopefully, it will be repaired, and the road fully reopened in time for Saturday. Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Re road closure, there are several alternative routes and for those of you coming from the west the Springbank West closure will have no effect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 According to the Hull Daily Mail, Springbank West will be reopened today, that's two days earlier than planned, either way, all should be in order for Saturday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 10, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2019 Good evening everyone. Firstly I want to say how much I enjoyed the Hull Model Railways Show on Saturday, and many thanks to Mick for a friendly chat. Tonight I have a photo’ from the mid fifties of a D49/1 on a service to York, from Hull, at Market Weighton. It’s hauling quite a good length train of corridor carriages. http://Market Weighton. 1950s. by jsb303, on Flickr Best regards, Rob. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 11, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 11, 2019 This evening, I’ve found this photo’, also from Flickr, of Menthorpe Gate, on the Selby to Market Weighton line, in the mid fifties. Sadly there’s no other information. It is interesting to see that both lines are flat bottom rail and not bullhead. http://Market Weighton - Driffield. 1950s. by jsb303, on Flickr Best regards, Rob. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2019 Good evening, and time for a further photo’ by jsb303 from Flickr. This one shows K1, 62007, on an excursion or additional service to either Bridlington or Filey Holiday Camp in c1958. It’s taken from one of the bracket signals at Market Weighton East Junction. It’s interesting to see how a single slip has been incorporated into the junction pointwork. http://Market Weighton. 1950s. by jsb303, on Flickr Best regards, Rob. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted November 12, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) An intriguing piece of surviving (long disconnected) track at Barlby near the level crossing. It appears the diamond crossing there was built with proper formed check rail etc., but that was cut through at some point and a piece of plain rail added for the surviving through track (The angled one in the shot cutting through the horizontal). There also appears to be another odd bit of rail as the nearest of the horizontal rails has a weird looking break. The other shot at the same location is the late afternoon Hull - Kings Cross service - unit number 180 111. (Photos taken Sunday 10th Nov) EDIT - 14 Nov 2022 - searching failed to discover the originals, replacements now loaded. Edited November 14, 2022 by john new Photo(s) found and/or replaced post crash. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the sleeper ends on the left hand track. if we put trackwork like that on a model, folk would say it wasn't prototypical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
