Hi
Has anyone seen photo's depicting carriages used on the above lines between 1930 and dieselisation of these lines?

[Jammy]

I have a large gallery of photos I have collected off the internet. But for a quick starter here are some good links.

There are currently five books on disused railways in East Yorkshire that include Hornsea and a specific book on the Holderness lines in the Hornsea library which I returned yesterday, and looking today they are neatly stacked in a line on a shelf under Local History. So they might be worth a look when the library reopens on Monday if you have time to spare.
The Hornsea Museum has two exhibits to the railway, one with photos upstairs in the cottage on the left of the entrance and a collection of antiques from the railway in and out of the shed in the garden outside including more photos and a little on the EYMS bus service. (Can you believe they used to be blue?)

More to your question though, there are quite a lot of photos on the carriages but unfortunately all but two I have ever found are in colour and those are of diesels. I'm still baffled to what colour the carriages were in the steam days.
