silversteellady liked jsm8b's post in the thread 76079.
76079 went first to Fort William in 2004 for a private charter over the late May Bank Holiday and then ran a public train the day after. As John says it was then at Fort William in 2008 during the photo charter. On both visits it masqueraded as...

76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]

I fired 76079 to Whitby on the 13.30 ex Grosmont, then through to Pickering and back to Grosmont on 12/4/2023. On shed it was found that the tubes were leaking yet again. One more attempt was made to expand them and I think it was tried once more...

Glad it went well. Seemed quite a lot of people get on the DMU at Kidderminster (I saw that from the Concourse Camera). My apologies for another AGM that I missed. I will pay my membership when I can (I am short of money from my Universal...

There is a theory ~(I think it has previously been expressed on here) that Chris Price left the NYMR because his wife wanted to move away from the area - I think there's some truth in that but not for the reasons publicly expounded, I think the...

silversteellady liked Sulzerman's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
NYMR used to have a range of events....... The diesel gala was discarded as the management thought it was a loss maker, until they tried it again and discovered the opposite, that it did make money. A spring steam gala abandoned (probably...
