  1. Hope you have a good weekend Paul. Give my regards to the EM Society members. Wish Icould be there. Derek
  2. Kirtley 800 class 2-4-0 on the turntable at Kirkby Malham, June1908.
  3. Wishing you all the best of good luck. Hope your treatment goes according to plan and is a great success. Derek
  4. If only colour photography could have been available. Where was Mr Kodak when we needed him?
  5. Yes, it is very nice indeed Chris. Now, the problem. You will need another eight to form your workman’s train. Only joking!! When you brought it to show us, I thought how cleanly you had built it.
  6. Yes, this loco is of that age. Bought from the late lamented C&G models at the Newcastle Show. Nice kit to build if my memory serves me correctly. Good luck with the build. Derek
  7. Hello Mark Here is my build from a Little Engines Kit. I think it is an A7, Iam not very knowledgeable about locos NER or LNER butI built it under the watchful eye of my late friend Fred Rowntree of the Whitby club. The front bogie is pivoted ahead of the bogie pin so that as the loco runs in a curve it draws the bogie forward and doesn’t foul the cylinders. Derek
  8. And best wishes to you, Adrian. I hope we will see plenty of your delightful modelling in 2023. Derek
  9. Very nicely done Paul, running really well. Perhaps you would like to bring it down to Kirkby Malham for a running session. You would have to bribe the directors, to allow you to put your engine on their lines though. Derek
  10. Midland Leyburn Junction to Bradford (Market Street). sometime in June 1908, passing through Canal Road station, drawn by one of Mr Johnsons 2183 class engines. Right hand lines are Skipton to Ilkley.
  11. Just a long view over the station throat. q
  12. Another shot of the afternoon goods setting off. Because of the amount of stock in the yard,the made up train was stored on the up line. NPCS in foreground are in the milk dock. Derek
  13. On another day, another goods is being handled by a 3030 class engine. In truth a George Norton kit, built about 25 years ago. I painted this one, Larry Goddard the class M. On this occasion the loco is making up an empty and sets off for Skipton yard, picking up at the intermediate stations on the way. Yard still full of wagons. Busy day at the office, I suppose. Derek
  14. A few more pics of doings at KM. Mainly shunting operations, I haven’t run a passenger all year,but Iwill enlarge on that later. First is my class M, now just about 60 years old. I built it in 1962 Coming out of the loco yard. Pic 2, during banging wagons about Pic 3 returning to shed, crossing over slips to gain arrival line. Derek
  15. Here is the Kirtley Well Tank, built over a period of about 20 years, starting in 1965.. Painted by Larry Goddard. The vehicle is a Kirtley designed brake van, again scratch built from a drawing in I think, the Model Railway News. The notice on the side of the van reads. : Kirkby Malham Branch Only. Derek
  16. Hi Lez, It was scratch built back in 1966. It took about 15 years in the building. I turned the chimney on my new Unimat and forgot about it until much later found it and built the mainframes. Into a box it went for a year or two, and so it went on. Painted by my good mate Larry Goddard. Derek
  17. Very nice too Chris No, I have been thinking about abandoning this thread and starting another one. Many of the pics were taken to illustrate a particular point and which I did not save, so are lost. The remainder I really don’t want to spend time on, so perhaps, start again.
  18. And the colour of the engines too. eh ……Paul Derek
  19. If you have a source of Johnson 3’4”. chimneys in 4mm, will you please let me know. All the ones I have found so far have not been the lovely graceful ones that were fitted in Johnson’s time. The only exception was the cast white metal ones by K’s, which came with their ‘single’ kit. I bought a fair few of these before the K’ s stopped making them, but have now run out. Good luck with the ‘700’. I have two Kirtley goods, one a K’s kit bought for me in 1966, the other a Jidenco offering, which required quite a bit of scratch building. Derek
  20. My best wishes and good luck for Thursday Derek
