Tyke119 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Willerby (East Yorks) c1980 lies on an imaginary Hull to York line running via Hessle North, Walkington, Bishop Burton and the once busy Market Weighton; having joined the Beverley to York line near Kiplingcotes. The Hull and Barnsley line through Willerby has closed some years earlier. A single line beyond Willerby , it and the Beverley to York line, have survived the Beeching cuts. Whilst there is a sparse DMU service, most go via Beverley, the line serves a quarry and Willerby cement works at Great Gutter Lane. It also provides an alternative route for goods traffic between the yards at Hull and York. Built on two 4’ x 16” baseboards + 3’ 6” fiddle yard. The track work is in place, most of it ballasted. A low relief factory backscene , platform and road bridges are also in place. Edited February 27, 2021 by Tyke119 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyke119 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) A little groundwork has been carried out at Willerby; BOCM, having purchased the good warehouses for the distribution of animal feed, have completed the base work, before they concrete around the warehouse siding. And Metcalfe & Co have laid cobblestones alongside the coal siding, ready for some coal bins and a yard light. A couple of 16t wagons have been left in the coal siding.

Tyke119 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) A class 08 has made the short trip from the inward yard at Hessle with fuel supplies for the cement works. The TTA wagons are from Bachmann with added Railtec hazchem signs and thinned Humbrol rail dirt paint allowed to run down the sides. The class 08 shunter, with faded paintwork, is a Bachmann collectors club limited edition from 2003. Next up, Parcels. And for the time being that should be enough engineering and goods wagons for he Willerby area. Edited July 13, 2022 by Tyke119 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke119 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) The LNER concrete hut from Ten Commandments fits in nicely With a little filing and scribing the position of the door has been moved.

steve1 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I like Dave's Ten Commandments stuff but had you considered this? https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/lx032-oo-laser-cut-lner-sectional-concrete-hut-pack-of-2-oo4mm176-497-p.asp I've got a spare one left over from Rectory Farm Sidings.

Tyke119 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Good morning Steve. Spotted the LNER concrete hut on Rectory Farm Siding and looks a nice product. Thank you so much for your kind offer. I’m happy with the smaller (medium) Ten Commandments hut ; it fits nicely against the brick wall, without dominating the front of the layout.

Tyke119 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) With the layout tucked away in the garage and it’s too cold in there, I’m taking the opportunity to do a little research and re-number the locomotives. Starting with three shunters allocated to Hull Botanic Gardens. 03 212, 08 248 and 08 567 will be making the short trip to Willerby, occasionally stabled in the sidings, they will help out at the cement works and with the BOCM siding. next ; a couple of class 20 s Edited July 13, 2022 by Tyke119 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
