North Yorkshire Moors Railway: Steam Gala 23-26 September

Upto now 80136 worked vice 92134 then 92134 came out vice 80136,so 80136 likely to end at Pickering and 92134 at Grosmont tonight .

Trains connecting with Whitby’s have been busy ,others less so ..

 

Looked good at Esk Cottages, also sounded a lot better too and was going well considering its goods trip a day earlier.

 

Made a lovely sound and sight in the late afternoon light at bridge 32.

 

Wow! What a day! Every run was fantastic and the Saint performed wonderfully. Good show, NYMR!

 

That 8f sounds great on the 1 in 49. Pity we can't keep it!

 

15 minutes is the normal booked time for the climb. That requires a steady speed of about 15mph, once clear of the 10mph restriction leaving Grosmont. 12 minutes requires a steady speed of about 19 mph, which is into class 6 territory with 7 coach trains.

 

2999 with Load 7 at Esk Valley viaduct - steady but sure climb and in fine voice:

cheers for clarifying that Steve. I thought the allowance would be 13-15 mins anyway. I haven't unfortunately been to the Moors yet although been studying timetables for good measure

 

A few more pictures from Friday 24th:

Good to look in on the webcam today and see Grosmont platforms really busy again for probably the first time since the pandemic began.

And I chose Scotland instead where the weather is miserable.

 

Roster update, 80136 is now working the delayed 1357 from Grosmont, so the 9f may have swapped back into its original workings again.

 

Was always down to be 80136 from the roster I was given this morning, but that was version 3.1

 

Yes but there's a very good reason to be in Scotland next week!

 

Smithy's holiday trip to Glenfinnan on Monday?

 

Three pictures of the J27 yesterday.


The star of the show?


65894 on the pickup goods


65894 at Beck Hole

 

Star of the show in the absence of the Q6!

 

Only 65894 can legitimately carry the star.

 

Spent the majority of the day at Grosmont on Friday 24th September
