    Sadly, in my own experience, simply running steam locos up and down does not turn a profit or drive high visitor numbers. To give an example (sorry to keep drifting away from Yorkshire) the busiest I have ever seen Kingscote station on the...

    Nice picture there John. I was working there over that weekend and was the afternoon guard when the loco worked back to Mallaig that day, having turned during the lunch layover at F ort William. Here is the train standing in Lochailort station...

    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]

    They are great little engines and I would have thought something that would have been useful on the West Highland line. It's good that it has a new home in Scotland. In steam days I remember that they were a regular loco on the summer Saturday...

    Thanks v much for the info. My notes say that I had 63395 from Pickering to Grosmont and 76079 from Grosmont to Whitby on 22 April 23 so that sounds like it may well have been it’s v last trip. And I attach a pic at Whitby taken on that day....

    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...

    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...

    I see the railway has been donated frames of a Kerr Stuart Tattoo class locomotive, not one that was on the line, but if they can finish it and run on the track so far, will give a good boost. https://www.glynvalleytramwaytrust.co.uk/number5club...

    All three were out of service by then, although it could be argued that Dom and Hastings were never really in service. Gervase at least did some work in the early years. Gervase's current overhaul is proceeding at Rolvenden, and with Hastings and...

    When I first went to the KESR, 1968/69 'Minnie' was on a siding at Tenterden along with a Pecket? 0-4-0 'Met', which had a Worthington steam pump on the running board, I specifically remember 'Hastings' and 'Charwelton' along with 'Marcia',...
