Three visiting steam locomotives set for North Yorkshire Moors Railway gala

 

Surprised no mention of the 9F? However, this could be because it's from RailAdvent who may have just assumed the homefleet.

 

But hasn't the 9F been assumed to be part of the NYMR home fleet since it was returned to working order? Or, am I missing something and it has now moved elsewhere?

 

No, it's having a new chimney fitted at Grosmont at the moment. Maybe it's just being kept as spare. 60007, 4079, 44806, 45428, 926 and 2253, that's enough locos to run full line services, with the others operating shuttles. Though I wouldn't be at all surprised if the two Southern 4-4-0s double headed at some point.

 

Chances are, though, that it will be needed at some point to cover for another loco - that usually happens! In any event, though, it's unusual for a gala event to not include one of the home "stars" - and I'd have thought 92134 is likely to be a bigger attraction than either of the Black 5s.

 

Isn't 92134 visiting the Bluebell in the autumn? Maybe it will need prep ahead of leaving or have gone early?

 

As I surmised it may have been Rail Advent taking a guess at the homefleet locos as the 9F is listed on the official NYMR Website!
