North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

A recent visit to Goathland station on the NYMR shows the detail work which has been done on these preserved stations on the line.

A general view of the station looking North.

The signal box and a selection of good vehicles can be seen here along with the gardener.

We arrived as preparations were well under way for a 1940s week end and the stations had a number of appropriate posters on display.

Along with the usual BR Mark 1 coaches were a number of LNER teak examples.

A NER loco which spent its working life hauling coal trains in the North East now pounds its way up the steep gradients on this line with passenger trains. The southbound approach to Goathland station is a 1 in 49 bank... not bad for a loco built in 1918.  The train is seen here at Grosmont waiting to shunt its stock back into the carriage sidings to leave the platform free for an arrival from Whitby. 

"The Great Marquess" heads south out of Goathland station with an afternoon train which includes more of the teak stock.
