Tinsley Sheffield South Yorkshire 3rd April 1991

            I only ever visited Tinsley yard and shed this once but I had observed it from afar for over 20 years. By the time I did make it the yard was virtually derelict although the shed was still active.

This 3 minute video is unashamedly trainspotter-friendly as I recorded the loco numbers on tape rather than writing them down!

On shed: 47292, 47588, 08434, 37095, 31423, 47254, 47360, 47573, 47051, 47234, 37053, 47447, 47120, 08919, 47279, 37543, 47331, 31507, 47450, 45135, 08509, plus 2 unidentified 47s inside the shed, another 2 unidentified 47s and one 08 in the shed yard.

Scrap lines in the marshalling yard: a) 45128, 45141, 45007, 45037, 45012, 45150.  b) 47412, 45130, 20226, 20126, 47017.

The hillside path by the shed was ideal for trainspotting. I wandered around the abandoned yard & no-one accosted me so I assumed the various cabins and control towers must have been disused. In total at least 39 diesel engines of 6 BR classes were on the site including 2 unidentified Class 20s that passed on a rail train. Not a bad haul.

The shed closed completely in March 1998 & today the site is a used car dealership. A huge distribution & logistics centre has been built on the marshalling yard with some sidings and a connection to the Outokumpu stainless steel plant still operation.
