Skipwith Station Holidays, Skipwith & North Duffield Station (VISIT) :
Carriages : 5856/DB 977792 ** – 'DERWENT MAIL'.
                  5941 – 'LADY DERAMORE'.
                  14157/17157/DB 977788 ** – 'DERWENT FLYER'.
There is some confusion (regarding the vehicles marked **), as to which carriage is which, this is due to one carriage carrying both the names 'DERWENT FLYER' on one end and 'DERWENT MAIL' on the other. Entries on VCT and UK PRSL sites are also conflicting on these carriages.
 
Thanks go to the owner for granting us permission and for hosting our visit.
 
South Cave Tractors, Common Lane, Brough :
The party enquired whether there were any road/rail Unimog vehicles on site and were informed that there was one inside the workshop, but permission to view that vehicle was politely denied.
 
Private Location, North Cave (VISIT) :
Carriage : GNR 2935 – 5 Compartment Luggage Composite of c1900 – grounded body. This was formerly at Burton Salmon.
Wagons : LMS 504451 – 12t van – grounded body.
                LMS 504x42 – 12t van – grounded body.
 
The number 2935 was found chalked on the back of the original toilet door once a hardboard panel had been removed. Based on the fact that the body at Acomb bowling club is the same type and approx year build and has been identified and there were only 54 of this diagram built, also the numbers '35' being found by the events secretary and another member on a visit in July 2003 to the previous location of this vehicle – hence the conclusion that the identity of this vehicle is 2935.
 
Thanks go to Andrea for organising & co-hosting along with husband Paul & family friend Chris. The party were treated to tea and sausage & bacon rolls and were made most welcome by our hosts, who were keen to learn as much as we could tell them about their carriage and who said we would be welcome to come back at any time.

Willow Grove, Earswick, York (VISIT) :
The party turned up here hoping to see the grounded carriage body of NER 2478, however the location of the grid reference was all brand new housing and despite extensive searching no trace of it could be found. Upon speaking to a local resident the party were informed that we were possibly in the wrong place and that he believed they were a few hundred yards down the road and so directed us there. However that information turned out to be incorrect as two different long term (since their childhoods) residents assured us that there were never any railway carriages at that location. Further investigation is required, but for the time being the body is reported as 'missing, assumed scrapped'.
 
Lafarge Tarmac Ltd, Swinden Quarry, Linton (VISIT) :
Mainline Loco : 66714 'CROMAR LIFEBOAT'.

Coach House, Low Wood Caravan Park, Heathfield, Pateley Bridge (VISIT) :
Carriage : GNR 6332/46332 – 6wh 5 Compartment Third/c1890 – grounded body.
 
Track behind Old Almshouses, Off the A49, Beamsley (VISIT) :
Carriage : GNR 3746 (tentative identity only) – 6wh Full Brake /c1888 – grounded body.
 
The numbers 3746 were seen very faintly stamped on the wood inside the guards lookout, post trip investigation found a photo taken in the mid 1990's with a note on it stating that the number 374 could just be seen on the paintwork on the rear of the body, and further enquiries lead to the number found stamped inside, being the more feasible and therefore most likely series for this type of vehicle – hence the conclusion that the tentative identity of this vehicle is 3746.

Special thanks go to Dave Cullingworth of the LNERCA for providing the party with grid references & post codes for some of the grounded bodies where we previously only had an area and also for providing us with at least two new locations that we were unaware of.
