Photo's Of East Yorkshire Railways


Recommended Posts

A set of pics showing 08597,08605 and 47334 on 6/10/97, having arrived at Hedon Road 47334 promptly shut down and wouldn't restart, to the rescue came 08597 which towed the whole train to its required loading area.

However thanks to the efforts of the driver and a fitter from Immingham the 47 was repaired and departed later that day.

USA tank, at Springhead. The late Willie Yeadon.

Is it possible to enquire about this photograph. Were some of these locomotives unloaded at Hull? I haven't seen any references to any of them being used on the LNER. I wonder what work had to be done so that they could be moved over British railways.

Mick,

 

The cab panel looks very light - RCTS says the livery was "invisible green" panelled in broad blue with narrow vermillion borders, so the cab and tender sides should look the same, I guess (which they don't). Also, there are no dog clips on the lower edge of the smokebox door - these were removed by Darlington works from 1924, RCTS says.

 

Regards,

 

Roy

It's a "Doctored" photograph, the cab side sheet has been "Filled In" with a lighter colour, and also, the number changed from 117 to 121. "Dogs" are not shown on the original drawing, they must have been a later addition. Attached, a colour postcard of the original print of No117
