That, Simon, is fascinating how you have narrowed, right down, the time of that photo’ of V2, 60938. Thank you for that detective work which has yealded a great result. And, Mick, it interesting to hear about the Army poster appearing in MRN c1962. Well, this evening, time for another photo’ by Syd Young, on Flickr. It shows a most atmospheric and historical scene of Deltic 55012, Crepello, at Hull Paragon station on the 21st February, 1979. Plenty off staff and enthusiasts look on as it backs onto the stock which will form train 1A28, the 16.45 Hull to London King’s Cross. Watching the Deltic by Syd Young, on Flickr Best regards, Rob. Looks like Jack Slee the Hull traction inspector leaning out of the secondmans window, and John Tait, Paragon shunter calling the loco onto the train. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 10, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2022 Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Simon Lee for the names of those two railwaymen from that photo’. Now, this evening, thanks to the KDH archive on Flickr, we return to Scarborough, and see several locomotives that have worked in on excursion trains. On the 8th July, 1973, we see class 37, D6736, class 47, D1575, class 03, D2113 - I know, it was the station pilot, and two class 40’s, D392 and D397.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 12, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2022 Good evening, everyone. Firstly, MikeParkin65, you are right to ask about that maroon Mkl. I’ve been ruminating about it myself, and can only conclude that it may have been out of service for some reason. Well, this evening, thanks to a photo’ by the KDH archive on Flickr, we go to Bridlington, on the 12th May, 1990, and see two class 20’s 20010, and 20132 on the return lef of the ‘Vladivostok Avoider’ special train, from Sheffield to Scarborough and return.

Best regards, Rob. This railtour was run by the Class 20 Loco Society of which I was a member. I was a steward and my then wife, Karen, was on the merch stall in the guard’s van. Mad days…but we did make enough money from this and our other tours, including the famous 3 To The Sea, to buy 20227. steve 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 13, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2022 Good evening, everyone. Thank you, steve, for the information about that rail tour, and it’s good to know that, with your help, 20227 was bought. Well, this evening, time to go to Hessle Haven, thanks to a photo’ by Philip Wheldale, on Flickr, for an undated look at an unidentified class 37 departing the marshalling yard on a freight train, and plenty of 16 ton wagins make up the train. 37 by Philip Wheldale, on Flickr Best regards, Rob. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Nunthorpe still has mechanical barriers is there any others left? Hi Russ, Just had a quick look at the LNE Territory LCs database (2003) and it lists the following as MBW (Mechanically worked lifting barriers operated by gate wheel under manual control); Barton Hill Cave Driffield (Skerne Road) Norton-on-Tees Nunthorpe Oxmardyke, and Rigton. Not sure how many are still "manual barriers worked from a wheel" as the Sectional Appendix, rather unhelpfully, now defines all the above as "MCB" (Manually Controlled Barriers), so without confirmation from elsewhere, it's a bit difficult to know which are still operated from a gate wheel. But as @micknich2003 and @Grosmont Jnc have said, Driffield and Barton Hill are probably still gate wheel operated. NB. For a bit of history, the first ever BR level crossing fitted with lifting barriers was at Warthill. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cave, Oxmardyke and Norton-on-Tees are MCB-OD crossings supervised by York ROC and Rigton is a CCTV crossing supervised by Harrogate SB. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
