Darnholm to catch 37261 and 37197 with the 9:50 to Pickering | |||
Then a short trip to Goathland where we see D5061 running round it's stock from the 10:30 Grosmont - Goathland shuttle. | |||
45133 makes a claggy start with the 10:50 Grosmont - Pickering service as it crosses Abbot's Ho. | |||
Back to Darnholm for the double 50s on the 11:50 Grosmont - Pickering service. | |||
And 10 minutes later 37261 coasts down the Beck Hole bank with the late running 12:25 arrival at Grosmont. | |||
Seen here at Newbridge, 50007 leads the 13:20 Pickering to Grosmont Service | |||
Looking resplendent with "The Moorlander" headboard 44004 leads the working into Pickering at 14:10 | |||
44004 passes Newbridge | |||
A big thank you to the organisers of the Diesel Gala for such a great event. We all had a great time. The sun was shining all weekend. The scenery was, as always, spectacular and the motive power was a joy to watch. It was also nice to catch up with some nice people - Craig Allen, Rich Mackin, Andy Slater, and to meet James Covell. Also a huge thank you to Rosalyn and George at the Grosmont Guest house for making our stay so pleasant and finally a big thank you to Phil for helping me with the video work - A bit more off road next year ;o) Perhaps next year we can organise some night time workings! - See you all in 2005 | |||
