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.

DRS have tried to bring a bit more style back into its locomotive designs with the new class 68 locos. I found 68002 standing at York Station in the spot where we usually find two 1957 vintage class 20s. 68002 is named INTREPID. 68002 stands alongside the snow plough in York station. The loco stands next to the new signalling centre.
