Brid Lines Autumn 2020 No 11 Brid Lines Autumn 2020 No 11 Abbotsholme Control Panel Modification by John Wilson One thing has come out of this prolonged shutdown it has given me the opportunity to modify the control panel on the layout from what we had originally: i.e. Switches that only turned each point either way (straight or branch). To a modified panel that still makes use of the momentary switches as used in the original configuration but also incorporates LED’s so indicate which way the points are set to. To achieve the desired effect threw up some problems along the way i.e. The LED’s required a different constant voltage from that which is supplied to the point motors (via a CDU – Capacitor Discharge Unit). To this end the panel incorporates in effect two separate circuits, one for the LED’s that is constant, the other which is at a higher voltage rate all be it shorter in duration. The LED’s used are “3mm Bi-colour”, that is to say they can be both Red or Green all in the same unit, it depends on the configuration of the supply wiring – and you must always remember that they require a resistor to drop the supply voltage to suit the LED. Whilst we are using “Momentary Switches” to enable us to give power to the point motor via the CDU a quick sudden voltage to ensure that the point operates and changes over successfully, it causes a problem keeping the LED illuminated at all times -to overcome this “Bistable Latching relays” were introduced to the circuit. These miniature relays come with two coils inside them one “Sets the relay” and the other “Resets the relay” when they are energised using the CDU voltage. Whilst the relay is in “Set mode” one colour LED is illuminated and whilst in the “Reset mode “ the other colour of the LED is powered up. All this multiplied by eight is the basis of the new control panel, which I have been able to test as far as possible, other problems may still arise when we come to connect it to our layout – whenever that may be. Hoping that everyone is keeping safe and well. I hope I have modified the panel successfully. 1 The layout generally as it was: And as it is now both inside and out. 2 The Rosedale Mineral Railway by Dave Bannister The Rosedale Railway was an 11-mile (18 km) goods-only railway line running from Battersby Junction across the heights of the North York Moors in North Yorkshire, England to reach iron ore deposits in the remote hills of the Rosedale Valley. It opened in 1861 and closed in 1929. The first construction of a recognisable railway along this route was in 1858 when The Ingleby Ironstone & Freestone Mining Company constructed a narrow gauge line to link existing mining operations with the North Yorkshire & Cleveland Railway at Battersby (then known as Ingleby Junction). Because of the difference in height between the junction at Battersby Railway Station and the moorland location of the workings, a steep 1 in 5 (20%) incline was located at Ingleby, where trucks would be hauled up the slope to a height of 1,200 feet (370 m) above sea level using the weight of descending full wagons. The length of the incline was 1,650 yards (1,510 m) and the wagons descended at an average speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) which resulted in a journey time of 3 minutes from top to bottom. 3 When the NY&CR had been absorbed into the NER. The NER decided to convert the line to standard gauge operations and extend the track 10 miles (16 km) from the top of the incline to mine workings at Rosedale run by the Rosedale Ironstone Mining Company, whom the NER had interests in. This line opened to the west side of Rosedale on 27th March 1861. Within a few years mining also began on the east side of the valley, and an additional branch line was run from Blakey Junction around the head of the valley to reach the new workings. The workings reached a peak production of over 560,000 long tons (569,000 tonnes) in 1873. The route across the moors was very inhospitable during winter months. During a severe winter of 1916–17 the line was blocked for five weeks. 4 Because of increased costs and a fall in the price of iron, the mines closed in 1925. Operations continued for a few years extracting the valuable calcine dust from the slag heaps but traffic on the line finally ceased in 1929.

It returned from Platform 8 at 8.43pm. Also 4 private excursions from Hull had run nonstop to Scarborough powered by K3’s 61813,61901,61932 and B1 61256 . It was most unusual for a train to run through platform 1 without stopping! A further highlight was a DMU excursion from Barrow in Furness M79018/79610/79009/79601/79015/79607—Derby Lightweight units built in 1955 and 79018 survives today at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. 5 2/2/ Patriot Patriot 4 -46--60- 0 th 15 June 1960 45500 26A (Newton Heath—transferred from Carnforth in March) ‘ Patriot’ This visit to Bridlington was reported in August Trains Illustrated -‘ appeared at Hull light engine on Wednesday 15th June from the Market Weighton direction and later worked empty stock to Bridlington’.

The same day other guaranteed excursions included ones from Welbeck Colliery and Notton and Royston . 17th June 1962 46117 Headed a Sunday guaranteed excursion from Hemsworth to Bridlington 1Z07 This departed from platform 2 at 6.30pm 24th June 1962 46130 56F (Low Moor) ‘The West Yorkshire Regiment’ A Sunday private excursion from Castleford to Bridlington 1Z03 returning from platform 2 at 7.12pm. An extremely busy Sunday—15 private excursions (including 3 from Staincross, 2 from Barrow Hill , 3 from Penistone and 2 from Castleford), 6 return excursions and 3 timetabled loco hauled trains. - 4 double headers. 6 There were 20 locos on shed, 1 in the cattle dock -of which 11 were Brush type 2 and 2 K3 pilots 29th July 1962 46112 16A (Nottingham) ‘Sherwood Forester’ 46112 powered a return excursion from Nottingham Midland 1X47 which returned at 6.40pm from platform 2.

Another rarity that day was K1 2-6-0 62037 on a return excursion Retford to Scarborough. Unfortunately, it did not return, failing at Scarborough and replaced by 61337. Two DMU return excursions were from Liverpool Central and Knutsford. 1st June 1963 46115 9A ( Longsight) ‘ Scots Guardsman’ -reported in Trains Illustrated August 1963, 46115 appeared on Whit Saturday hauling an additional working before the start of the summer timetable.

  • North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List
    North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List Description: The collection includes a minority of architectural plans, along with drawings of structures such as bridges and viaducts, maps of permanent way routes and alterations, signalling plans and diagrams, with a variety of miscellaneous components for structures and infrastructure. The collection comprises approximately 3500 plans, diagrams and maps on paper, wax linen and linen- backed cartridge paper. System of arrangement: The original arrangement of the drawings has been lost and they derive from a wide variety of applications within the architectural and civil engineering genres. The drawings have therefore been listed in the rolls in which they were found, and every effort made to record the variety of numbering systems used at different times by the railway company departments involved in creating and storing the drawings, representative of the different types of drawing. There is no one single and consistent numbering arrangement. Physical Characteristics: The drawings survive in a variety of formats and sizes – there are wax linen tracings, colour washed linenbacked original office drawings, drawings on cartridge paper, blueprints and other copying processes. Administrative/Biographical History: The North Eastern Railway Company was formed in 1854 as an amalgamation of the York & North Midland Railway, the Leeds Northern Railway and the York, Newcastle & Berwick Railway. It continued to absorb other companies in the north eastern region of England over subsequent decades, including the Stockton & Darlington Railway, South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway and the West Hartlepool Railway. In 1923 the various railway companies of the United Kingdom were grouped into four large amalgamations.
