NYMR Autumn Steam Gala 50th Anniversary 21st-24th September

Last Whitby being held for delayed passengers returning to Grosmont.

Great fun this morning with double-headed 9Fs up the bank to Goathland, a rapid ascent! https://x.com/heritagelocum/status/1705608035291337153?s=46&t=dzzjup_kADlMH6rSzm2GTA

 

Action from Moorgates as 9F 92134 comes to the aid of the stricken 80136 !

 

Lack of water by the looks of it by the way he looked in the tank and went drop it end of

 

A few images from Friday and Saturday: The sun played hide and seek an many occasion, especially on Saturday:

I spent about 3 and a half hours at Pickering on Saturday

Highlight for me was the 18F!! 92214 & 92134

It seems unlikely that they would have run out of water (unless they didn’t take water at Grosmont before setting off). Maybe both injectors had failed?

 

Repton wasn't in steam on Thursday Jon

 

Three from Sat',5428 leaving Whitby / 31128 arriving. 80136 renumbered 80116, piloting 926 Moorgates.

 

Is the use of a milk tanker in a freight train something that actually occurred?

 

Whatever happened I hope the loco is ok and not suffered any damage.

 

It was left in as siding a Levisham overnight , and when we passed earlier this afternoon it looked like it was in steam, with a black five positioned in front of it, presumably taking it to Pickering on one of the freight workings.

 

Looked to have a warming fire in it again this afternoon as we passed on the train.

 

80136 Passed the Goathland cam on the Pickering end of the A4s train. Which has now arrived at Grosmont

 

And now arrived back into Grosmont on the back of Gresley's train

 

The webcams are a great feature for those who can't attend - 92214 instead of 92134 on the 17:10 delayed from Grosmont. Probably to be at Pickering in preparation for returning to GCR

 

Probably took all night to fill it with a hosepipe at Levisham, if it really was out of water! How could it be, though, don't standard tanks have water gauges/level indicators for their tanks?

 

There's an assumption that they work, there

 

Some footage from Friday and Saturday of the gala

 

I'm a bit surprised that it would be allowed out (or accepted by the crew) without them working (assuming it has them!)

 

There is only one tank water level indicator. It is located on the rear of the side tank on the fireman's side. The water level in the side tanks and bunker is balanced out.
