Wow what memories, thank you Malcom, i realise a lot of changes had taken place but i remember when i worked for Westfield Shovels when it was owned and ran by Steve, Dave and Ros Chapman of Killingholme, i remember loading trucks on the Pyrite dump with Pyrite which looked like purple flour (but way heavier) in the early 90's it was on the now HIT terminal where they load the Drax wood pellet trains, we also worked in the terminal from time to time and remember a couple of the old Clarke Michigan shovels, (all noise and smoke) which were later replaced with new VME 350 machines, we used to do alot on the mineral quay when they used to put the Ford A62 loading shovels in the ships hold to clear the product the cranes couldn't grab it was a different world, i had many happy times with Steve over the years and i still go into IBT to do maintenance on some of the machines there.👍
Oh my goodness Mick, what memories your video's bring back. Many faces known to me, many now no longer with us. I've worked all the signalboxes you show, either as a resident/relief signalman, or a supervisor. Never a dull moment. It bothers me how so called progress has reduced today's rail traffic to a shadow of what it was in the years you show. Congested roads, empty railways - something wrong there! Many thanks for the trouble you've obviously gone to, to edit and up load these videos. All well worth watching.
Brilliant thanks. I could of watched more of this for hours! Just to note, both 60035 and 60037 were both accepted to BR revenue earning traffic in April 1991. . . . I'm off to play trains at Barnetby now (June 1990) :D
Fantastic, really informative and some views inside very rarely visited locations. As a signalling historian I have been looking for many years for a photo of the switch panel inside the Bulk Terminal and now here it is! Thanks for taking this footage and sharing it.
Amazing footage of everyday scenes and the people that made it happen!! Can I ask…what’s the music used at the start and end? Heard it before on one or two other Productions!
Finance. It was a lot cheaper to use a tractor that to keep a double manned 08 engine, during the time unloading/loading was done on the quay side. Operators of the tractor were versatile and were able to do other duties, whereas, train crew operators could not.
Titans Tioxide Uk Grimsby purchased 50 second hand MDO unfitted mineral wagons from BR in 1974. They had a carrying capacity of 21 tons and tare weight 8.8 tons and were painted grey with a yellow top for identification. A year later they purchased 200 MCO unfitted railway wagons from BR. They had a carrying capacity of 25 tons and a tare weight of 10 tons and they painted them grey with a red top for identification. I hope this answers your question, cheers Malcolm Hayles.

Thanks for the kind remarks, but you did not say your name?

Great videos my friend, a real trip down memory lane I remember Grimsby in the early 90’s

Can I ask…what’s the music used at the start and end? Heard it before on one or two other Productions!
