North Yorkshire Moors Railway - August 2014
On a lovely summers day we set out for the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Our intention was to walk the Rail Trail from Grosmont to Goathland which follows George Stephenson's original railway line of 1836. After walking to Goathland our plan was to take the train back to Grosmont.
With a total steam ban in place on mainline charters throughout Yorkshire this would be an opportunity to photograph and video steam trains in action.
Our day began at Levisham station as we called in to see the Grosmont Pickering trains cross at 11:20.
Afterwards we moved on to Grosmont for lunch and to see what was going on at this busy station on a normal operating Monday in August.
After lunch we walked along the Rail Trail to Goathland a distance of about 3 miles. We had a coffee from the “Tea Shop” at Goathland before taking the train back to Grosmont.
The locomotives featured in the video are:
45428 - Eric Treacy
75029 - BR Standard 4
37264 - EE Class 37 (Diesel)
61264 - LNER B1 (as 61034 Chiru)

North Yorkshire Moors Spring Steam Gala 25 April 2014
We decided on a trip to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway as it’s the first weekend of their spring steam gala. Unfortunately the weather wasn't any better up on the North Yorkshire Moors, not that I was really expecting it to be, in fact it was worse and we ended up by abandoning the outing before we ended up even more soaked than we were.
When the heritage railway are holding a gala they usually arrange for a “visiting star attraction” a locomotive not normally seen on the railway. This gala is no exception especially as the star attraction in question is the fastest steam locomotive of the heritage era. 4464 Bittern made three 90mph trips along the East Coast Main Line last year to commemorate its sister locomotive Mallard’s world record speed of 126mph set in 1938. Bittern is normally restricted to 75mph operating main line charter trains but was granted special permission to exceed this limit on the national rail network on these three occasions. 4464 Bittern now carries a plaque to mark this event.
4464 Bittern with a fully loaded tender of coal and water weighs in at around 165 tons. You would think it wouldn't be easy to hide something that big but it can also create an enormous amount of steam allowing the locomotive to leave Grosmont station bound for Pickering engulfed in steam and almost hidden from view.
Just as well that we'd managed to capture a few shots of Bittern before it took its place at the front of the train.
By the middle of the afternoon the morning drizzle had turned into heavy rain and we decided to head home before the thoroughly wet weather did some damage to our camera and soaked us to the skin. An hour and a half’s journey in soggy clothes wasn't something we fancied.

Too Busy to Blog
I don't seem to have found time to blog about our heritage railway visits in September and October but as the days grow colder and shorter I'll have time to update both blog and web pages.
September saw visits to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and Nene Valley Railway autumn steam galas. I've now added videos of both galas to my web pages and these are linked below.
Our first visit was the Nene Valley Railway near Peterborough for their British Railways Standards gala held over the weekend of 14th and 15th September 2013.
For the last weekend in September we visited the North Yorkshire Moors Railway autumn steam gala which was very good even though there was a distinct lack of visiting locomotives.
October arrived and we decided on a couple of days away to visit the West Somerset Railway's steam gala. Fortunately for us the weather was much better than expected and we had an excellent visit to the county.
As more information is added to my web pages I'll do a blog post listing the updates. In the meantime I hope these three video will keep you entertained as we enter a time of little steam movement on both our heritage lines and mainline charters.

North Yorkshire Moors 40th Anniversary Gala
A video
of our day out to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway which we attended so we
could travel on the steam trains at their 40 anniversary gala on 10 May 2013.
The
footage features not only the locomotives we travelled behind but some of the
scenery of the North Yorkshire Moors in late spring.
We
start with some shots at Pickering station of NER design class J72 0-6-0T
locomotive number 69023 “Joem” bringing in and running around the Great Western
Saloon carriage to operate a shuttle service to Levisham.
Meanwhile
LNER A4 class Pacific 60007 "Sir Nigel Gresley" arrives with a service from Grosmont and runs
around its train ready to operate the next service to Grosmont. This
is the train we catch to Goathland where we break our journey and have lunch. We
pass LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' at Levisham
where our train pauses in the station before departing for Grosmont.
At
Goathland we get some footage of 60007 "Sir Nigel Gresley” leaving for
Grosmont and after lunch we see LNER class B1 4-6-0 61264 renumbered and named
as 61002 Impala double heading with 60007
"Sir Nigel Gresley" arriving
at Goathland. We
see our train 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' arrive at Goathland before we get
on board for our journey to Whitby.
At
Whitby 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' pushes its train out of the station to
perform its run around the train before re-entering the station. We decided to
catch this train back to Grosmont and spend an hour at this station.
At
Goathland our day went pear shaped with the cancellation of a train to
Pickering. As the previous train to Pickering had been diesel hauled we decided
on an extra hour at Grosmont to take advantage of the next steam hauled train.
This was not to be and left us with a further 2 hours wait at Grosmont.
In
the end we travelled back to Whitby again with 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier' very
disappointingly this service was then diesel hauled all the way back from
Whitby to Pickering. This wasn't the end to the day out we had hoped for.

North Yorkshire Moors Railway 02 November 2012
The day started bright, sunny and cold as we first stopped at Moorgates on Goathland Moor to watch Ex Southern Region Class S15 Maunsell heading for Goathland before 4-6-0 Black 5 45428 Eric Treacy is captured with The Moors Explorer heading for Pickering.
We walked along to the engine sheds where 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley was more than likely being readied for its main line duties in a few days time.
With the rain coming down we decided to head for home.
There's also a video of all these trains which can be found here.

We then moved on to Grosmont to watch the arrivals and departures taking place in the early afternoon. Ex Southern Region Class S15 Maunsell was the first to depart this time heading towards Goathland and Pickering.

| Grosmont Station |
Next to leave was Class 4MT 4-6-0 75029 The Green Knight with The Yorkshire Coast Express for Pickering. By now the weather had turned, the sun had disappeared replaced by drizzle.

We then ventured back to watch Black 5 45428 Eric Treacy departing once again heading for Goathland. By the time 45428 departed it was raining heavily so apologies for the extra shaky video as I attempted to give my camera some protection from the rain.
