North Yorkshire Moors Railway Diesel weekend.

-
A recent visit to the NYMR saw some of the preparations for a forthcoming Diesel week end. 

Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon built loco number 26038 was being prepared at Pickering for its run to Grosmont
...and here the crew get ready to take a train back to Pickering later in the day. This brought back memories of travelling behind these locos on the West Highland Railway many years ago.

Here we appear to have an imposter. Deltic number 55007 PINZA is what it claims to be but that loco is not one of the preserved Deltics!!! It is, in fact no. 55022 ROYAL SCOTS GREY from the East Lancs Railway.

However, it brought back memories of lineside holidays at Berwick on Tweed when these locos ruled the East Coast route.

Class 40 number D213 ANDANIA is not an imposter, but the real thing. Looking like it is ex- works it stands in the loco yard at Grosmont ready for the week end.

Hornsea Station, East Yorkshire.

 When the branch line from Hull to Hornsea was closed in October 1964 the Station building was left to deteriorate. This is what it looked like by late summer 1985. However, it is a Grade 2 listed building so it could not easily be demolished and it was a rather grand building so it was converted to flats, some of which were available for let as self catering accommodation.  These images show the present state of the buildings and area. The area in front of the old station is now part of the Trans Pennine walk. The station house has been made into two flats with the ground floor being holiday accommodation.

  There are very few class 91 diagrams into York these days but what there are are made up of refurbished and reliveried sets. This is the Kings Cross to York which forms the 12.02 stopping service to Kings Cross.  These are the pacer replacements. A great improvement.
