    Born and raised in the East Riding, save for degree studies in the big smoke. Unfortunately almost at the opposite end of the Tees-Exe line for the GWR!

    Currently building up (hoarding) my fleet, and taking my first steps in scratch & kit building, via modifying RTR! The dream? A secondary GWR mainline in the winter/spring of 1946/7, with plenty of operating interest, and justification to run all classes of Swindon's finest!

Result being that 60103 gave a stirring solo run from Goathland up to the summit! Just a superb day.

      My kids have always been great fans of the NYMR, a day trip from Whitby to Pickering was always a feature of their childhood holidays there, like taking a photo of them all on the "Aidensfield bench". Last time we were in Whitby we saw a steam loco actually in Whitby, I wasn't sure about that, I always regarded the rattly, malodorous railbus to Goathland as an important part of the trip.
