Photo's Of East Yorkshire Railways

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening we have three photo’s, of which one is in colour. The first two photo’s are by John Turner, and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, and the first photo’ is of the simultaneous early evening Gresley V3, 2-6-2T, hauled 5:15pm departures from Brough, carrying workmen from the nearby Blackburn Aircraft works. V3, 67638, on the left, is in charge of the non-stop working to Hull, whilst 67684 busies itself with the all stations slow train to Hull Paragon. The date is the 25th July, 1963.  Just look at all the BR Mkl non corridor carriages which had replaced Gresley Quad Art sets on these services. 
 

And this second photo’, on the same day, is of an unidentified WD, Austerity, as it crosses a typical East Yorkshire drain, near Brough, and trundles a train of unfitted mineral wagons towards Hull.

 

And now for a colour photo’, by Burleyonian, on Flickr, of Dairycoates, in circa January, 1967, with WD, Austerity, 90272, complete with the J15 pilot board.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Great pictures Rob

Is that WD identifying as a great Eastern 0-6-0 !

I hadn't realised there were Gresley quad sets outside of the  London area

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and, russ p, perhaps that WD was trying a bit too hard to get to Hull! 😉
 

Now, this evening, with thanks to John Turner, and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we watch a BR Standard class 5, 4-6-0, 73163, as it passes non-stop through Brough station with a westbound Class C Parcels train, in about 1963.

 

And now, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see WD, Austerity, 90462, under the coaling stage at Dairycoates, in about 1966. Notice the man on the rear of the tender, I’m guessing he will be the fireman.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

That parcels consist is interesting, looks like a Southern BY, a fish van (ex) and a Thompson suburban brake.  Any advances?

 

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and well done, Boris, you have correctly identified all three vehicles. Now, this evening, with thanks again to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we go back to Brough for another photo’ of the simultaneous departure of the 5:15pm’s, with Gresley V3 2-6-2Ts in charge. 67638 is working the non-stop train to Hull, whilst 67684 provides the power for the all stations to Paragon, on the 26th August, 1963.

 

And this second photo’ by John Turner, on Flickr, shows WD, Austerity, 90016, built 1943 by the North British Locomotive Company, Glasgow, as it trundles onto its home depot passing Dairycoates West signal box en-route, in circa 1966.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, with thanks to Peter Brumby and John Turner, on Flickr, for the first two photo’s, we see D49/1, Shire, 62707, Lancashire, at Brough, laying down a smokescreen, as it hauls a train of non corridor carriages, in June, 1959.

 

And next, K3, 2-6-0, 61897, approaches Brough station from the east with an up mixed freight, in about July, 1959.

 

And finally, with thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we go back to Dairycoates, in about 1966, and see WD, Austerity, 90352 near the coaling stage. I cannot quite see what the man is carrying in his left hand.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Hat that WD got an 8F’s tender or a variant on the standard for the loco type?

Standard Dub Dee tender, it looks odd due to angle and the sun.

Agree looking at it again the upper coal space sides aren’t curved in like on an ex-LMS tender. That said though on the tender of every WD I can recall, for example those in the recent photos in this thread, the sides are stepped in above the water tank with the coal space sides inset.  The one above looks like it has a weld line where that in-stepping would be and upwards extended flush sides. Was that a variant that existed, perhaps for increased coal capacity, but wasn’t that common?

The weld line is the step in the tank, its the way the light is catching the side that gives the impression that it doesn't have a step in the tank to the coal space.

Good evening, everyone, and how interesting the way that the sunlight is making some of us think that the WD’s tender is not what it actually is. 
 

This evening, with thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see another two photo’s, starting with work weary 03 shunter, 03073, in near white thanks to getting repeated doses of Exmover, in the carriage washing plant, according to comments on Flickr, stabled at Botanic Gardens (BG) TMD, on Monday, the 28th September, 1981.

 

And now another WD, 90677, near the ‘Cracker’, coaling stage, at Dairycoates, in about June, 1966.

 

Best regards,

Interesting effect. Plenty of photos in the same stream demonstrating that 90352 had a normal tender:

I would love to know the circumstances - just shunted, or operational?

At the works?

You often saw odd apparent pairings that weren't pairings in reality on visits to Doncaster Plant.

Goodnight evening, everyone. Well, it’s been a busy day today, and thank you, Mick, for posting that excellent photo’ of ex H&BRly, G3 No113, which by the time of the photo’ was LNER J75, 2494, at Alexandra Dock. And thank you, Paul, for posting the photo’ of the Stanier Black 5, 44932, on a special train which included some Bullied corridor carriages. I saw the train in platform 2, at Hull Paragon station, but was not in a position to be able to take any photo’s. 
 

Now, this evening, with thanks to Peter Brumby, and John Turner, on Flickr, we go to Brough, in circa 1959, and see Gresley V3, 2-6-2T, 67638, as it waits the departure time from Bough, East Yorkshire, with a local semi-fast service to Hull Paragon. The first carriage is a Gresley teak bodied, end vestibule, seven compartment all second.

 

And thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see WD, "Austerity", 2-8-0s, 90008, 90009 & 90677 around the coaling stage at Dairycoates, in circa 1966.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks again to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we are back in Brough, on the 20th September, 1959, to see Thompson, B1, 4-6-0, 61122, as it heads an up passenger train. 
 

And this is photo’ by John Turner, on Flickr, shows WD, 90057, near the coaling plant at Dairycoates, on a night in December, 1966.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

I can categorically state that Dairycoates Dubbies seem to have been far cleaner than those we had across the river at Frodingham, Immingham or Doncaster.

Bulleid coaches must have been pretty rare at Paragon in steam days I would have thought?

These coaches have been brought for creating part of a film called The Blitz.  Hull Paragon is being used to appear as a London station for the film, according to Look North this evening.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, with thanks to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we see Dairycoates allocated English Electric type 3 (later TOPS class 37) Co-Co, diesel-electric, D6736, approaching Brough station with a Hull bound train, 1N70, in about 1963. The train is the 10:25 Sunday only, Kings Cross to Hull, due into Brough 15:29, and calling at Ferriby and Hessle. It arrived at Paragon at 15:54. It ceased running with the timetable change from 9th September 1963. 
 

Now, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see WD, 2-8-0, 90009, as it shunts BR, 21T hoppers, within the confines of its home depot, whilst Thompson LNER, B1, 4-6-0, 61255, has just been coaled at the Dairycoates coaling stage. It is circa 1966.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

WD 2-8-0 shunting Marfleet c1965. Photo' Rev David Benson.

 

 Re previous photo' of WD with NERly tender, it was for real, for some reason it was coupled to the engine to work it back to the Southern Rly.
