RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted December 4, 2009 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 4, 2009 NORTH YORKS MOORS RAILWAY SECOND VISIT SEPTEMBER 1974 Switching now to colour film we carry on with our quest for things worthy of a shot. With the risk of boring you I include duplicates of some of the B&W but in colour. In the sidings was the NER coach (Open Third?) easily distinguished from the Gresley offering by its shorter length (53' 6") and rounded beading. Beyond is a more modern Thompson coach. N0.5 stands with its train by the bracket starter. It will run around its train ready for the return to Grosmont. General view of the platforms. No. 5 is returning with its train. No. 5 stands in the same spot as I used for No. 29 on the previous visit. No. 5 in closeup. Just about ready for the return trip. A fixed NER distant signal which we passed on the way back.

lmnp Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi ArthurK, On page 1 of this thread you have a picture of a Hunslet 0-6-0 Diesel shunting a very clean 21T Mineral wagon. I'm currently building a Judith Edge model of the Hunslet 0-6-0, do you have any more pictures of this loco? I'm keen to get my hands on as much reference material as possible. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers The only other that I have is from the same angle but has the front unobstructed by the wagon. This was a fairly distant shot so that it has been blown up a bit. However I reckon it might help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted December 5, 2009 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2009 NORTH YORKS MOORS RAILWAY SECOND VISIT SEPTEMBER 1974 On arrival back at Grosmont No. 5 was detached to prepare for another run around. Grosmont Box, this time in colour. No. 5 now back with its train We had plenty of time to spare so that we visited the shed at Grosmont. This was before "health & safety" and we could wander around without restriction. First looking out of the shed was Lambton No. 29 which had been our train engine on the previous visit. The K1 (6)2005 was resplendent in LNER green. A livery that it had never carried in its working days. I know that some of you following this thread like detail. For you we have the Cylinders and Valve Gear in glorious colour. Not to be outdone I offer these next photos in B&W. It is obvious what they are.

RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted December 5, 2009 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2009 NORTH YORKS MOORS RAILWAY SECOND VISIT SEPTEMBER 1974 I will finish of the K1 detail bits this session the I will follow up with the remainder of shots from NYMR, Close up of the tender rear showing the electric lamps topped with a conventional bracket for oil lamps. The injectors are tucked away under the ri ght cab steps. Also visible is the footplate support bracket Lastly the Stone's generator on the front right footplate. Plenty of detail there to get your teeth into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmnp Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 This was a fairly distant shot so that it has been blown up a bit. However I reckon it might help. Thanks for the photo, it isn't an 0-6-0, but never the less still a useful picture. I do love any industrial diesel locos, something quite charming about them.

RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted December 6, 2009 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2009 NORTH YORKS MOORS RAILWAY SECOND VISIT SEPTEMBER 1974 (Conclusion- Nearly) To finish off I have a number of photos of interest. THe Original tunnel out of Grosmont used until the Deviation line was built. It now affords easy access the the shed. Five detail shots of the Q6. At this time it was devoid of a chimney. First the slide bars and crosshead Same again but in colour. Connecting rod big end. The NER style of lubricator Tender axlebox and spring. Note the spring retainers above the spring to limit the movement in the event of breakage. No. 29 in the shed No. 5 storms its way back to Goathland. Whistle signboard with speed limit.

RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted December 6, 2009 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2009 NORTH YORKS MOORS RAILWAY SECOND VISIT SEPTEMBER 1974 (Conclusion) Two shots of an NER platform trolley from Bishop Aukland. Not sure what this is, modified tool van perhaps. Almost certainly NER. The number on the LNER works plate appears to be 258031 but I could be wrong. Reading it is a bit difficult. GNR passenger brake coach. Back at Grosmont was this Gresley Buffet Car Next to it a GNR 8-wheel brakevan. Then our final view of No. 5 running around its train once again no doubt to make yet another journey to Goathland. Then it is back to Lancashire.

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Thanks for putting up the KX area pictures. This is what lives on in my mind's eye, which I was both too young and too poor to be able to photograph. Regarding: " 'Dante' now released from it's train moves to the servicing area to the left of the main lines. D247 Type 4 on the left. Another Deltic on the right"; that 'another Deltic' is in yellow-blobless form, which made them look very imposing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Just found this thread; there's some superb stuff here! The early preserved era shots of Pickering are very interesting - quite a shame just how much infrastructure wasn't preserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted November 26, 2010 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2010 Not posted here for some time. Good that you have brought it to the front again. I have exhausted the motive power/trains from the Eastern side. I only have stuff from Beamish and Stations/Signal boxes along the Tyne Valley. I may get around to posting those someday.

the penguin of doom Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi Arthur. I remember this thread from the old site, but have just happened upon it again. I'm really glad I did too!!!! Keep the musings coming. Cheers. Sean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sludger Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Arthur, just found this thread. I lived in Ashington and visited the colliery almost every day even running away from school some day's. Started visiting the Blyth sheds in 1965 but never had a camera so these shots bring back so many memories. I think the unidentified 4MT with the tablet catcher at North Blyth is 43138. If you concentrate hard you can make out the numbers under the grime. Did you take anymore shots at Ashington? Did you take any diesels at South Blyth? This is a wonderful reminder of days long gone. Regards, Trev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon s Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thank you Arthur for bringing back this wonderful set of photos. I've just spent a most enjoyable 30 minutes enthralled at the level of detail in these pics and how invaluable they will prove to be for weathering and detailing my roster of LNER locos. The pics from KX and LS in the 60's brought memories flooding back. The end of Platform 10 was a second home for me, but once I gained confidence, the lure of other London terminii became too much to resist. That feeling of excitement and anticipation when going to another terminus for the first time is something I will never forget. Knowing you were going to see something new, but not knowing what was guaranteed to get the pulse racing and your pics of Liverpool Street in 1962 did just that. The Britannia's and that beautiful J69 station pilot, lined out in GE blue and red, was something really special and meant that each weekend trip to KX included LS as a matter of course. Once on the list, trips out to Stratford became the norm and the holy grail of shed bunking have become very special memories some 50 years later. The sad thing for me is that we will never see the likes of those B & W pics again. The grubby, dirty appearance of loco's, stock and buildings have gone forever and I know it is just pure romanticism on my part as the reality was probably different, but those scenes as seen through the eyes of a 14 year old are priceless.

EHertsGER Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Perhaps I've missed some comment to this effect somewhere as I have been deeply absorbed in this posting for far more hours than could be said to be productive, but you really should put all this in a lovely book - it deserves more than just electronic presentation. ,aye all of us who have been glued to the pictures should pass the hat and publish it privately for our own amusement and coffee table decor... ? ...back to the pictures...
