NYMR LNER WEEKEND

This has all the makings of a good weekend with 60163 Guesting
Will the loco allocations be online as last weekend
Henry

 

I have asked the question - will let you know when I have an answer.

Why do we have to pay for WTT for this weekend when the Autumn Steam Gala was free
I'm baffled
Henry

 

Is it normal fares this weekend ? I can't see October 5th and 6th listed under 'special event' or 'gala' fares, so it would appear to be normal fares ??

I've happily paid £1 for a Saturday visit' timetable

 

Is this an all steam weekend
H

 

Did the LNER have any diesels.? .. Interested to know if 60163 has the friday evening dining train ...!

 

Did they have any s160s
H

 

Yes they did - the NYMR's 2258 is believed to have been shedded at Leeds whilst on loan to the LNER prior to being sent to Europe. The Pickering area was used for training tank crews, and at least one S160 is believed to have made it to Pickering on a tank train.

 

Excellent reply my worries were unfounded so we can have an authentic steam weekend?

Yeah, you square

 

This LNER weekend is a Gala Fares Weekend and timetables with Loco allocations are £1 per day (available now) http://www.nymr.co.uk/shop/LNER_Weekend_Timetables.html, LNER weekend timetables only available free from booking offices.
Yes at this time the Tornado is on front of the Pullman Diner train.
Hope that helps.

Which way will 75029 be facing this weekend
H

 

Foward

 

I can't answer that one definitively. It was facing north (towards Whitby) last weekend, and is unlikely to have been turned. I haven't seen the rosters so I don't know if it will be running at the weekend - it isn't an LNER machine, or even vaguely related, after all!

 

Hahaha so funny never thought of that lolx

 

Its on the tt

 

The valve gear was designed at Doncaster and based on latest LNER thinking (three bar crosshead, suspended radius rod, etc.) so it has some pretence. You could say it is what Peppercorn would have built if Nationalisation hadn't taken place!

 

You could, but I wouldn't! It would have had a round topped firebox and parallel boiler for a start - a cross between a K1 and a B1 I would have thought.

 

Probably because the ASG had no visiting locos and they didn't think anybody would pay for it!
