Third 1507 door problems – images open in new window

Door 2 main member replacement click here
The above photo has established that the carriage is still turned around as it was in 1999/2000 which is opposite to when the door restoration was carried out in 1993 to 1997 (approx). Door numbers 1 to 10 are quoted below as they were first found in 1993, L&YR marked a door number with a roman numberal stamped near the top edge of one of the main door members (not sure which one). Not all of these now survive.
Also 2 of the current doors were from a sister 1476 rescued and cosmetically restored by Glenn Foxley.

Photos of problems from Peter Eastham taken 15th June 2023
Doors 1 to 5 are from Oxenhope to Keighley end on West (platform) side
Number 2 was missing and was replaced with one from 1476
Doors 6 to 9 are from Keighley to Oxenhope end on East (river) side
Number 8 was in very poor condition and was replaced from 1476

L&Y Society magazine LYR Focus article covers up to 1910 only, it really needs an update to include our vehicle. Somebody sent images of the 5 pages to Melanie for Push & Pull (I don’t know who).

Unless Melanie gets an electric copy from the LYRS it needs retyping and I don’t know what the position is with photos.

Below is a gallery featuring the 5 pages from the magazine (sorry I can’t get them to appear larger)
