f1_mw Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Fab! Shame about the overscale driver Notice you're from Whitby - is the Ruswarp Miniature Railway still going? Used to go there every year when I was younger and got to know the original owner quite well, at the end of the day he would let me drive the locos to the shed B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike J Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Re the Ruswarp miniature railway, the locomotives Danny and Emily were recently purchased by the managing director of the group running the North Bay Railway at Scarborough, with a view to complete refurbishment/overhaul. As I understand, the Ruswarp line will be gaining, or has already gained some new locomotives and will continue to operate as normal.

AMJ Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 For the 6+ years that I worked for a certain school nearby I used to drive past the railway in all weathers and thought that it was nice. I think that there were the odd weekday running sessions that I got to have a look at - couldn't stop too long as I was supposed to be working!

Suddaby Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I went on Sunday morning, my first visit to Gilling,and was very impressed with what I saw. It really gave the impression of being a real railway, if you see what I mean. Also I liked the fact that most of the models were actual scale models - the detail on some of the wagons for example was of the highest quality, and that rake of 13(?) BR Mk1's looked wonderful, and this is before I started looking at the locos! My only criticism - wot No A3's or A4's!!!! My favourite locos that I saw - the Merchant Navy, A Brit and also a Midland Single - reminded me of the early days at Butterley, when they used to steam the NRM's loco - perhaps the most graceful loco you would ever see running (or perhaps gliding is a better term!). All in all an excellent way to spend the morning - my Mum and Dad were very impressed - though I think it must have reminded them of taking 5 year old Suddaby train spotting.
