The coach still exists and has recently been refurbished. The coach did survive as stated. A good book on the Sand Hutton is by the late K R Hartley and have just found out there is a new, expanded, 3rd edition. Unfortunately, although I have a copy of an earlier edition I can't currently find it. Ken Hartley used to regularly do talks around the York area called, again if my ageing memory is correct, The railway that Isn't there. There also used to be a website of that name covering the railway's history but I can't now find the link so it may well have gone as, sadly, so many websites do when the former site owner ceases paying for them. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 19, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19, 2022 Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, JeffP and john new for the information about the carriage in the photo’ of the Sand Hutton Light Railway, and also about the book, of which I didn’t know about before, which I have just ordered. I’ll see if I can find the details of that locomotive in the book when it arrives later next week. Well, this evening I’ve a photo’ by Woolwinder, on Flickr, of Sledmere and Fimber station on the former line from Driffield to Malton. There’s no train, but I think it is of interest from a historical point of view and is a kind of ‘record photo’.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 20, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2022 Good evening, everyone.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 21, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2022 Good evening, everyone. Well fir this evening we go to the Derwent Valley Light Railway at Thorganby in 1959. The photo’ is from jsb303, on Flickr, and you can see the station building quite clearly.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 22, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2022 Good afternoon, everyone. I’m early today since I’m shortly going to be going to the slide show that will be given by Mick Nicholson. So, for this afternoon we are going to Filey Holiday Camp station as it was back in the summer of 1950, from a photo’ by jsb303, on Flickr. Sadly no other information about the trains is available.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 23, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2022 Good evening, everyone. First of all, I would like to thank Mick Nicholson for the excellent talk and slide show from yesterday evening at the Holiday Inn Express in Hull. There were many new photo’s to enjoy seeing, and the atmosphere was most convivial. I look forward to the next one in due course. So, for this evening we go to Burdale, on the former Malton to Driffield railway, and thanks to a photo’ by jsb303, on Flickr, we can see an unidentified class J27, on a short freight train sometime in, possibly, 1957. The caption reads 1958, but it doesn’t seem right. I could be wrong.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 24, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2022 Good evening, everyone. Well, Mick, thank you for posting those two photo’s of the double headed train by those two WD’s. It’s not too often I’ve seen a train hauled by two of those locomotives. It’s most interesting to see the photo’s of the DVLR, and it certainly is more than worth a visit or two. Hopefully people will go and volunteer to help the line out, I’ll certainly see what I can do. Well, this evening we go to Driffield for a view of the Malton Dodger. The photo’ is courtesy of jsb303, on Flickr, and you can see an N8, number 76, deputising for the more usual G5, on the early evening departure from Driffield for Malton, on a Saturday, in August, 1935. It is composed of the usual two carriages, both ex NER, non corridors, and notice the guards door is open.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 25, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2022 Good evening, everyone. The Sand Hutton Light Railway book has arrived, and the locomotive, in the photo’, from earlier on, is one called Esme. Some fascinating reading lies ahead. So, this evening we go to Sledmere and Fimber station, thanks to a photo’ by jsb303, on Flickr, in it’s last year of use, 1958, and can see, on the platform, the train crew.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 26, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2022 Good evening, everyone. This evening, courtesy of a photo’ by Syd Young on Flickr, we go to where the line from Hull to Selby crosses the Market Weighton canal between Broomfleet and Gilberdyke. As can be seen, at the time of the photo’ there were still four tracks on that section of the line. The photo’ dates from the 5th April, 1983, and there is a four car class 101 DMU crossing the bridge on the up slow line, next stop being Gilberdyke on it’s journey to Leeds.

Don't think the leading car is 50168 as that was allocated to Norwich at this time, more than likely one of Neville Hills 4 car Met Camms. The red buffer beam also indicates a NL unit as a certain fitter a NL Paul Corrie was quite prolific with the red paint. Al Taylor. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I find it amazing just how clean the "dubbies" ( WD 2-8-0) were on the north bank. Those twenty crow-miles away at Frodingham were always filthy, so much so that you couldn't read cabside numbers from the embankment as the locos passed.
