'The first UK steam engine to reach 90mph' and 44806 with 'new black lining', eh?

 

Having something to talk about keeps it at the top!

A lot of these links don't work for me, just default to the NYMRS website, probably wait until nearer the time for the loco allocations best bet.

 

They worked yesterday but some of the timetables on the website have been revised. Link to website page with all the timetables on http://www.nymr.co.uk/special-events/spring-steam-gala/

 

The Fight for Vera Fund would like to announce our first fundraising event of 2014.

The Fund will be running a Pie & Pea Special on Friday 25th April, as part of the NYMR Spring Steam Gala. A percentage of profit from this service will go towards our worthy cause, please do consider joining us for pie and to enjoy our newly branded real ale courtesy of Cropton Brewery - "Vera's Rail Ale."

Tickets for the Pie & Pea Special will be made available for pre order from the shops/booking offices on the NYMR and Whitby station. They are priced at £6.50 per adult.

A separate ticket or valid pass for travel will also be required for this service, a discounted evening fare will be available.

The train will depart Pickering at 1627 & 2035 and depart Grosmont at 1904 & 2210. We will endeavour to inform you of any changes! We would like to thank the NYMR management for allowing us to run this special train to raise funds for our appeal.

 

Will be going on the first weekend (both Sat 26th + Sun 27th April).
Won't be the same without 92214 (now owned by GCR), but with four Black Fives, Lord of the Isles, Bittern, The Green Knight, Lambton 29 and a Jinty in action; this gala should be a blast!

 

Anyone please advise which locos will be in use on the FRIDAY 25 APRIL
-- TIA Neale.

 

The timetable for the first Friday is here: http://www.nymr.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Friday-25th-April-Gala-TT-V3.pdf. But I don't think motive power has been announced and of course is subject to availability.
As a few engines are not staying for 2nd week of Gala I would expect to see them in action first weekend.

 

Thanks John, already have timetable just needed to know what is being used
on the Friday (not expecting the actual rosters just yet)
Neale

 

Three black 5s, as 45428 isn't scheduled to take part.

 

There were three black fives, the Jinty and 29 out today, with 62005 sat in the yard at Grosmont.
Trains were well filled too, with the first train to Whitby announced as "standing room only" just before it arrived at Grosmont.

 

Indeed! Bonus with 47406 piloting 44806 on 1100 Pickering - Grosmont!!!

Both locos required for haulage.

 

A little preview of what’s potentially to come over the next two weekends, with a few additions: http://richardsteampics.weebly.com/recent-images.html taken on Friday, shame I missed the Jinty! 75029 & 61264 facing Grosmont. (unless turned....)
