NYMR Steam Gala 22nd -25th September

Sorry, no.

 

I guess it was waiting a path over the single line on to Grosmont. Glaisdale - Grosmont - Whitby is all one section, so if a Moors service to/from Whitby has the token then thats the section occupied. I don't think it was ever going to leave Glaisdale as scheduled unless the 12.35 Whitby - Pickering service was cancelled.

Revised roster available, only glanced at it so apologies if these changes that I have seen are wrong;

Pullman Dining Train - Limited capacity for none-dining passengers. Carriage F (South-end of set) is for Pickering & Grosmont services only, you cannot alight at any other station due to the platform length.

Thu

76079 vice 926 on EVL and gets rare trip to Pickering.

76079 isn't going to Pickering on Thursday; 926 is. 76079 only substituting for 926 on the Esk Valley part of the service.

 

Timetable shows it doubling heading with 63395 on the 2:30pm from Grosmont?

 

Turns still look poor for 85 and Std 5. Frustrating.

 

Top and tail.

 

85 should be out to play tomorrow but not sure what it will be playing with.

 

85 is down to be station pilot tomorrow according to the roster

 

80136 vice 63395 this afternoon.

 

85 Banked the A4 up on its first run up to Goathland. A great spectacle at Darnholme !

 

A little teaser from day one and going by the crowds at Grosmont it looked like busy one !

 

one from up on shed this morning while prepping the locos

 

Oi you missed a bit.
6ft by 2ft panel in blue paint, shows up nicely.
Not done by the NYMR I should add.

 

63395 no longer shown working for the rest on the weekend in the latest version of the timetables.

 

Still showing on Sunday 1503 ex Grosmont & 1638 ex Pickering

v2.6

 

A few from today...posted mainly for the sake of the info below...













Warning...For anyone thinking of venturing to where most of these were taken... A large branch (from the trunk seen to the right in couple of the pics) has swung down and blocks most of the view on the right side of the tree. So space is VERY limited (book your spot early!). The ground was also very dry and crumbly with a fair bit of tree litter....so didn't feel great underfoot in parts of the descent.

 

I went to the NYMR Steam gala today Thursday 22nd September
Certainly the star of the show was
4498 Sir Nigel Gresley still in wartime black livery

The hope is that repairs will be done by then.

 

Second visit to NYMR on Friday 23rd September
Avoided the crammed SNG services, travelled behind the 9F, which has been turned again, meaning it is the only loco working smokebox first out of Pickering
Couple of unusual double headers

926 Repton & 29 at Grosmont and Pickering
