Brilliant! Thanks for that. Just wathched it on a popular video streaming site. Very good indeed. It makes you realise how much we have lost in the last 40 years. My dad used to take me up to Tinsley on a saturday in the late 70s/ early 80s to watch the shunting taking place. then we'd have a walk along the bank behind the depot to cop the then new 56s. It seems weird driving up the M1 now. By habit I still always look over to see whats on shed. It only seems like yesterday when there was line upon line of 20s parked up. It's enough to bring a tear to the eye.....

Many thanks guys, I've not had time to watch the videos yet (We have really rubbish broadband in rural herefordshire so have to watch any videos early in the morning) 87023. That appears to be the only image on the web, apart from the ones of rolling stock on Pauls site. Paul, are there anymore images in your archives of the depot at all? Again, thanks all Marcus

Thanks for that. Looks like a trip to York may be in order then

Hi, New member here. I am thinking about making a 1980s shunting layout based on the railfreight depot that used to be at Grimesthorpe in Sheffield, but I am stuggling to find any images of the depot. there are a few on Paul Bartletts site, but do not show much detail as the imes are of freight stock. Please can anybody point me in the direction of any webites or books that may contain any images? Many thanks for looking Marcus
