DOCJACOB Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 Another blast from the past. Images taken west of Brocklesby from farm track.

DOCJACOB Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Trip to Brigg Garden Centre with the odd distraction. Stragglers from 14/3 will be added separately. First time for everything. Stopped on A16 to allow plane to take off from Humberside. Apart from Gibraltar any other roads/airport interface issues spring to mind?? Brigg signal box had recent repaint. Now seems to match listed box at Pasture St Grimsby? 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Gibraltar any other roads/airport interface issues spring to mind?? RAF Waddington - A15, and RAF Cranwell - minor road, both have wig-wags. Have been stopped for the BBMF Dakota doing touch and gos, and also a pair of F15s at Waddington, they got past 30k feet before the lights went out.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Some random images from a wide area. 24/2/92 144.007 despite appearances Station was still open at this time. To be honest never ever saw passenger & I was generally only person on platform. Disproportionally large due to Lord Yarborough financial involvement of MS&LR. Equally odd layout as loop line used to run in front of main entrance. 12/12/90 Elsham signal box & suspect colours more accurate/correct than latest from Brigg Undated & no I/D suspect mid 92 (x4 Class 31 with x1 Class 37 at rear) Regular Friday afternoon engineer working with return on Monday PM Sure posted others but lost in crash 15/8/91 possibly 47:314 Suggits Lane crossing looking to Cleethorpes. Visible are interesting wagon & carriage washer 6/91 Brocklesby 31:286 & 31:210 and a tad cleaner than earlier image Edited July 17, 2023 by DOCJACOB Extra 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 Few more from the rummage, odd one may be re-post from crash Settle 4/9/90 (yes I know & don’t need geography lesson) but first 60 I ever saw 60:006 Great Gable Brocklesby undated with passing 60’s and good timing on my part; 60:014 nearest but no I/D for other. Barnetby 21/6/96 saw roof outline off M180 near Ulceby & did a detour. Wife more than a tad displeased Brocklesby 5/93 31:541 with observation coach 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Rummage developed into full on attempt to sort loose images. Next in line 47:401 & then Immingham Depot Firstly Barnetby 16/8/90 47:295 & 47:054 Brocklesby 22/11/90 60:019 Wild Boar Fell DMU held at signals due to conflicting movement consequent on the track layout at time. Brocklesby 17/11/90 47:224 light engine Brocklesby 17/11/89 37:707 & 37:708 spent a short while in the area and have feeling being tried on the same working that the twin 47’s were on a few months later. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOCJACOB Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Mentioned earlier that a regular feature circa late 91 & early 92 was engineering working. Generally multiple light locomotive move leaving around 15:00 Friday & returning around 15:00 Monday. Between jobs so managed to cop it occasionally. Unfortunately dates & numbers scanty. Mainly 31’s with some 37’s & odd 47 First image 3/2/92 Brocklesby 31:215, 31:296, 31:511? 37:058 Rest no I/D I’m afraid 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOCJACOB Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 Managed a quick visit on 31/12/89, pretty gloomy day & probably not that warm too. 47:352 08:332 47:332, probably didn’t bother with other 47’s as rail blue less common sight? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
