Countess.

"The Countess" is one of the two original Beyer Peacock 0-6-0Ts built in 1902 for the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway. She is seen here at Llanfair in the early 1990s.


Standing on the engine road. There is now an engine shed on this site.





"The Countess" stands at Llanfair with No 5 2-6-2T Orion in the background.

Here she is seen from Llanfair signal box with No 12 "Joan". The box has been replaced since that time.

    Shiny kettle.

    She is a lovely locomotive though.

    I didn't know the signal box was replaced.Probably not a bad idea though.

 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.
