J27and Q6 run the Railway

63395 with the Pickering train passes 65894 on the ash pit at Grosmont on Wednesday 18th May 2022 - Paul Wickham

Paul Wickham, the Running Department Manager writes: As 63395 past the shed on Wednesday evening working the 17.00 ex Whitby, and the J27 was on the pit for disposal in the lovely evening sun. I had a thought, when was the last time that both of these locomotives were in traffic together on regular passenger duties as the only rostered steam locomotives on the railway that day…… quiet a number of years ago I would have thought.

Preparation for leaving the Carriage Works

Monday, 04 April 2022 00:00 Maurice Burns

Maurice Burns was asked to identify various wooden patterns for Arthur Jenkins and called in to Hopetown Monday morning, 28th March.

It was a interesting visit to see where we are. I also thought it right to take a few pictures to record the last few months.
