Founded in 1968 to purchase, restore and maintain examples of rolling stock belonging to the former Hull and Barnsley Railway Company, as no examples of which had been reserved for preservation prior to this date.
The last H&BR locomotive was scrapped by B.R in 1956 so only rolling stock was left.
Coach No.58 was discovered in Hull in 1967 and purchased by the founder members. Coach No.40 was located in York the following year. Two coal wagons were purchased from the Tyne Commissioners in 1968 and the engineers tool van No.2 came from the Hull area in 1974. This vehicle was, at that time, the oldest one at work on British Railways.
The Stock Fund now has a varied collection of photographs of the line from 1885 to the present day. We wish to locate artefacts and ephemera of the Hull and Barnsley Railway to add to our knowledge of the line and it’s operation, and make this information available to students of railway history.
