I thought people may be interested in seeing my photos from the 2019 gala at the North Yorkshire moors. These pictures were taken on 28/09/19. J27 No.65894 & T2 (Q6) No.2238 double head a train away from Grosmont. Witherslack Hall passes over Grosmont Viaduct with a train for Pickering. K1 No.62005 & A4 pacific No.60009 “Union of South Africa” pass through Darnholme. 2253, King Edward II and 92134 at Goathland. If you'd like to see more of my images from the day then please click here.

I spent a couple of enjoyable hours yesterday (21/09/19) at Tanfield for there 1940s weekend. No.49 and "Sir Cecil" were in steam. It was also possible to view Armstrong Whitworth diesel D21 which recently arrived at the railway from Beamish. Anyway on with the pictures! No.49 in Causey woods. Marley Hill shed is currently undergoing work on its roof. Pictured inside are "Twizell" and "No.2" Fowler Diesel No.4240010 under repair in the yard at Marley Hill. D21 inside the five road shed. The engine needs some work doing to it before it can run. And finally a photo of one of the military exhibits. Hopefully these images are of interest to some!

Can't wait to get one!
