The second photo’ shows Thompson LNER Class 01, 63663, of 41H Staveley shed, as it heads a westbound 'class H' freight along the 'up slow' at Brough, East Yorkshire, in c1959. Next we have a photo’ of class D20, 724, in the 1930’s at what would appear to be the approach to Seamer, on a working from Scarborough to either Hull or York. Finally, here’s a photo’ of 20007 and 20205 on an RHTT, 3S14, at Beverley station, at 18.50 on the the 17th October, 2018. Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic set of photo’s of Switzerland, looking down near Steinerberg. C10656, of Re4/4ii, heading a Basel to Chiasso service, is a most atmospheric view, with the train on the curve from between the trees. The Swayfield photo’s, from the early 1970’s, are an excellent selection. J2847, of Class 31, 5601, on a down emoty coaching stock train, in March, 1972, is a well composed photo’ of a clean 31, and the quite short train, which includes three Mkl sleeping cars. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening we have four more photo’s to enjoy. They are thanks to knoxrj, Paul Kearley, John Turner, and Andy Hughes, all on Flickr.

The third photo’ is a quite rare shot of Ruston & Hornsby Class LPSH 0-4-0DH (RH 513139/1967) "Herbert Turner" at APCM Melton Quarry - c.1971. The loco was new to APCM Barnstone Cement Works, Nottinghamshire and was originally named "The Herbert Turner" moving to Melton some time in 1970. By the date of this photo, "The" had been dropped from its name and indeed the nameplate looks rather crude (you can just see a hint of the original longer plate). Extra information from the caption on Flickr. Finally, here’s a photo’ of 56006, as it makes it's way out of Hull Hedon Road sidings in charge of train, 6D54, Hull Docks to Doncaster Belmont Yard, on the 17th January, 2003. Best regards, Rob.

The third photo’ shows 37136 which is thought to have been a Tinsley loco at the time, which is reversing empty stock back into Bridlington on 14th June, 1975, to probably form a Bridlington to Sheffield service.

Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David. That’s a great set of photo’s from around Gamston.
