  1. 35B liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    This reminds me a bit of some of the conversations about the WSR, where everyone could agree that the line was too long, but no-one could agree on which end should be mothballed! The difficulty on the NYMR as I se it is that Whitby adds...

    Fitted with a really good spark arrestor, modern design of over door ashpan, can be worked round the whole railway in 1st valve no drama. Was our most reliable last year in the high fire risk season
