    So far, (and likely to remain that way with her move!) my only two shots of 76079, both at Steamport. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    It's pretty stark when you put it like that. When you look at the 2024 accounts, the staff costs alone (including pensions and NI) came to slightly under £10,000 per day, 365 days of the year. You'd better hope they sell a lot of keyrings! (To...

    The NYMR doesn't need the teak coaches; that's true, but they sure as heck should want them.

    There’s always something happening with these lot: No sooner have they put the finishing touches to the original S&D box, they’ve started the junction box! concrete foundations poured already: [ATTACH] A rare surviving NER coal hopper has...

    My reaction to the post by @black5 was that "at last" there is good news on this front. But I'm not going to give praise for fixing a situation that should never have arisen.

    D5032 has followed the usual NYMR trend of being stripped for overhaul than progress has been glacial. I believe the plan was D5061 would go in for overhaul once D5032 was complete. D5061 was withdrawn in 2014, and D5032 had already been under...

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your analysis. You can add to that Antwerp and Meteor, which, although not owned by the NYMR, were on a run and repair arrangement. No. 5 may have been similar and let’s not forget the LNERCA teak...

    Part of the problem is the NYMR has a history of running an company engine and then being unable to progress the overhaul. 2253, 44806 were bought by supporters for the railway. The NYMR ran them and couldn't afford the overhaul, and sold them....

    I hope 80136 takes the place of 76079 in the shed at Pickering rather than being left outside for years.

    Sorry to see her go - a capable and user friendly loco and in my opinion well suited to the Moors, especially with the lighter trains that we seem to run theses days. But she does need a lot of money spending on her which it seems that Strathspey...
