Up the creek
I think that photo 113 is at Goodwick shed. I am not certain as there are some details that I can’t quite match up, but this may just be changes over time.

Some photos taken in Deviation shed and Grosmont shed yard NYMR on Saturday

44806 and failed 55009 Alycidon

Due to lack of the NELPG's 2 locos, that are usually inside the shed as they are at Shildon it was possible to get photos of 34101 Hartland, minus boiler
plus 29 and frames i think of S15 825?

I went for my second visit to the NYMR Diesel Gala yesterday Saturday 14th June, all photos taken today at Grosmont station and shed
Sadly around mid-day when 55009 Alycidon arrived on the rear of the shuttle from Goathland it was declared a failure, i am not sure what the problem was,
https://railway-photography.smugmug.com/Days-out/2025/June-2025/NYMR-Saturday/i-7NMp9W8
but 37264 removed the Deltic to the shed and it later worked Alycidon's rostered Saturday/Sunday morning services, not sure if it will appear Sunday afternoon

Full collection starts here with 37418 An Comunn Gaidhealach & 37688 Great Rocks (now fixed and working) at Grosmont
