North Yorkshire Moors Railway LNER Gala Weekend
HUNDREDS of railway enthusiasts were out in force to enjoy the first half of the first-ever London and North Eastern Railway Gala Weekend.
The A4 Pacific class Sir Nigel Gresley, Union of South Africa and Bittern were a magnet for photographers while the Green Arrow, nearing the end of its service on the line, was pulling a restored LNER teak set of carriages.
There is also a Thompson B1 4-6-0 No 61264, K1 2-6-0 No 62005, and a recently restored North Eastern Railway Q6 No 63395 will also be in traffic while a newly announced fifth visitor will be 'J15' No. 65462 from the North Norfolk Railway.
There will be weekend Esk Valley operations to Battersby on Saturday and Sunday, with two train operations on the Sunday, and freight shuttles on the NYMR line.
Video footage, by Robert Townsend, includes the Union of South Africa, Sir Nigel Gresley and the No 61264 goods train.
