Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic set of photo’s of the ex-British Steel site at Sewstern beyond the High Dyke branch during the preservation period. J3173, of Peckett, 1158, in April, 1973, with a ballast train being shunted, composed of BR wagons, being a beautiful photo’ of the tank engine at work. The black and white photo’s from around Nottingham are all gems and JVol5137, at Nottingham London Road Low Level, with class A5, 69817, on a down goods train, in c1953, is a most atmospheric and well composed photo’ by your Dad. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, we have four photo’s to enjoy, thanks to Mike Hutton, John Turner, Peter Brumby, Grahama5531, and Andy Mason, all on Flickr. The first one is a view of class B16/1, 61429, on what appears to be carriage stock being backed into a carriage siding just to the south of Scarborough station, in possibly the late 1950’s. The second photo’ shows a third and final view of Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0 46409, pictured working the "RCTS/SLS North Eastern Tour 1963" through Dunnington Halt on the Derwent Valley Light Railway and heading towards Dunnington station and Selby, on the 27th September, 1963. Thirdly, we have a photo’ of the 10.12 Leeds - Hull, as it passes Gilberdyke Junction, formed of a typical four car hybrid formation of class 123/124 DMU cars, on the 14th February, 1981. The last photo’ is a view of 47580, County of Norfolk, on a Scarborough to Carnforth ecs, on the 8th April, 2012. Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David. That’s a great set of photo’s from Scotland. The first one at Port Glasgow, of the Gouroch branch, in July, 1974, is a most interesting photo’, and I feel a bit puzzled by what appears to be a boy helping out with the roadworks. I hope I have got that right. The photo’s from around Scout Green and Shap Wells in 1973 and 1976, are of much interest. The last photo’ at Shap Wells, with a Class 87, on an up express train, in August, 1976, is a fantastic shot, and, with the exquisite Mkll’s from Accurascale in mind, the carriages look to be Mkllc’s if those are Roevac roof vents. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mike, for those excellent, atmospheric and enjoyable posts about signalling, your lovely layout, and the first green locomotive. You are quite right, that unnamed Patriot is hauling a mixture of ex-LMS Pll and Plll carriages. Now, this evening, from myself here are four more photo’s which are courtesy of West Halton Sidings, Andy Mason, knoxrj, and mikeyashworth, all on Flickr. The first one is quite different, and is an advertisement for Sentinel shunters: Stick to steam and save money : advert issued by Sentinel Waggon Works, 1929 - Derwent Valley Light Railway, York (Layerthorpe) station. Next we have a photo’ of class J75, 2524, at Hull Springhead, in the 1930’s. Apologies about the ‘lean’, I can only think that the photographer didn’t quite have things setup properly. The third photo’ shows Deltic, 55011, as it departs Platform 2 at Scarborough with the Saturday service to Kings Cross. No date given, but it may be 1980. Finally, this is a photo’ of the time of the first Covid lockdown, and shows one of the results of it. “An unusual working, normally the weedkiller round East Yorkshire is an MPV on its own. However on Sunday 3rd May, 2020, it was top and tailed by 66137 and 66199 - this is to allow the operator of the weedkilling equipment to sit separately from the driver and maintain social distancing.” Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David. That’s a great set of photo’s of Carlisle. C9420, of 85020, on a down empty steel train, on the 12th April, 1988, is a well composed photo’, and there appears to be a light out in what was the headcode box. The Laindon photo’s, on on the London Tilbury and Southend line, are of great interest. The last photo’ of 302243, on a Fenchurch St to Shoeburyness working, in May, 1979, is a superb shot of the train going about it’s everyday work without any fanfare. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mick, for the excellent photo’ of a G5 hauled - despite being push and pull fitted - train for Hull at Willerby, in 1955. It is just so full of detail and atmosphere. And thank you, too, for those better photo’s of those two H&BR locomotives. This evening, courtesy of Andy Mason, knoxrj, John Turner, and Paul Ashton, all on Flickr, we have four photo’s to enjoy. The first photo’ shows NER, 2-4-0, 1268, at Bridlington in pre grouping days. Next we have a photo’ of Derby built (1960) 350hb 0-6-0DE D3944, as it shunts Shirebrook (Eastern Region) Cowans Sheldon & Co Ltd 30T Steam Breakdown Crane DE331160 with matchtruck DM770006 at Dairycoates (50B) MPD, Hull, in c1969. The third photo’ is a view of 37421, propelling coaching stock into platform 1 at Scarborough, to form a train to either Manchester or Liverpool, in the 1980’s. I’m a bit vague about the details unfortunately. Finally, here’s a present day photo’ of 66728 "Institution of Railway Operators" at Gilberdyke, on train, 6D25, the 0850 Rylstone Tilcon (Gbrf) to Hull Dairycoates Tlcn Gbrf, on Tuesday the 19th March, 2024. Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David. That’s a great set of photo’s of Switzerland again this at Emmenbrücke just north of Luzern, on the 3rd August, 1988. C10076, of Ee3/3, 16410, is a most delightful portrait shot of the locomotive. The photo’s at Ardwick in Manchester, from January, 1972, are a superb selection, and, as stated, show a typical day with that dull and cold weather. C0785, of Class 506, M59601, on a Manchester Piccadilly to Hadfield service, is a great photo’, and the cab front of the EMU is just so stark, adding to the gloomy conditions. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mike, for those couple of excellent photo’s of the Avro Vulcan XH558. It’s fascinating to see those photo’s of the plane that the 37 was named after. Now this evening, we have four photo’s thanks to Andy Mason, John Law, and trainsofhull, all on Flickr. The first one is a view of H&BRwy, 2-4-0, 33, at Springhead shed in pre grouping days.

Thirdly, we have an undated photo’ of 45140, as it passes the junction at Seamer West with a nice rake of Dogfish on the line to York. Finally, here’s a photo’ of 20205, passing under the overall roof at Beverley on train, 3S15, Bridlington to York Thrall, on the 15th October, 2018. Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic set of photo’s of railways without trains in North Wales on the Cambrian and LNWR line to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The last photo’ at Roman Bridge, on the 23rd July, 2002, is a most enchanting, scenic view. The photo’s from trips to Scotland in 1973 and 1974, taken at Craigendoran, are a superb selection. J3333, of Class 303 043, on a Helensburgh to Airdrie service, in August, 1973, is a delightful and well composed shot of a Blue Train before the cabs were disfigured with the vandal proof replacement outer cab windows. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly I think that normal service is resumed after the mixup I had yesterday evening. And I want to especially thank you, Mike, for that truly outstanding post about your first visit to Dairycoates shed. The words and photo’s are quite excellent, and I have really enjoyed reading it all. So, please do make that post about your first green engine day, I cannot wait to see what happened. So, it’s photo’ time, courtesy of Peter Foster, Trevor Casey, Charlie Verrall, and Andy Hughes, all on Flickr. The first one is a view of V2, 60831, of 50B Hull Dairycoates, presumably waiting to end its days in Drapers Yard, on the 29th March, 1967.

Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David, and everyone else. Firstly I want to thank you all for your support and help, and your supportive pm, David. It is very much appreciated after yesterday evening’s mixup. I still don’t know exactly what I did. I have decided to leave that errant post as a reminder so, hopefully, I will not have anymore mixups. So, with permission, I think I will post my comments to yesterday’s photo’s, and then follow them up with the comments on today’s photo’s. So, from yesterday, that’s a great selection of photo’s of the Midland at Kegworth. The first photo’ of a Class 44 on an up coal train, in January, 1970, is an excellent head on shot of the locomotive, and it can be seen that the discs only have very faint lights, not the bright lights to be found on some RTR models. The photo’s at Otterington, on the ECML, are a superb set. J494, of WD, 90011, on a down iron ore train, in May, 1966, is a most excellent photo’, and how well weathered the WD is. And now for today’s excellent photo’s, the Sittingbourne and Kemsley as preserved in 1975 and 1979 photo’s are a delightful set. C2095, Bagnall, Superb, running round, in May, 1975, is a lovely portrait shot of the locomotive. The photo’s at Kirkby Stephen on the Settle and Carlisle, in the 1990’s are a superb selection. C21772, of 142093 and 156471, on a Leeds to Carlisle service, on the 10th April, 1997, is a well composed shot of the train. It also reminds me of a story where a friend, at that time, was travelling over the line regularly, and one day an old couple asked him about the train. He strongly advised them not to travel in the Pacer, but in the 156. They did so, and enjoyed the journey. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. I can only apologise for posting the photos which were meant for my East Yorkshire thread in this thread. I don’t know how it happened. It will be forever a mystery. Or just old age catching up with me. Sorry, Rob. P.S. The photo’s are now to be found in my thread.
