A short train ride over to Leeds this afternoon to see 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley with 5Z07 0930 Crewe H.S. to Grosmont for the Steam gala this month, sadly there was a diesel on the front 37667 Flopsie

Arriving on the through road at Leeds

It was held at the signals for a late running Cross Country train (nothing new there!!)

After about a 1 minute wait the pair set off for Grosmont

The gala timetable on the website tells you which coach set is on which services, but not what the sets are. I'm assuming TK is the teak set though. What forms sets A, B, W1 and W2 and how many vehicles are they?

I'm considering a day trip to the gala on Saturday, particularly to see 92134 disguised as 92079 banking trains from Grosmont.

First of 2 days at the NYMR Autumn Steam Gala on Thursday, I couldn't believe the crowds. It was packed, standing room only on the morning departures from Pickering.
3 Guest locos were the beautifully restored ex NRM LSWR T3 class William Adams T3 No. 563 built in 1893, Gresleys masterpiece A4 Locos, 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley
Final guest loco representing the GWR was on of Collett's Castle class 4079 Pendennis Castle

The railways own locos were out as well
92079 in its Lickey Banker guise with headlamp in reality 92134
44806
2392
2253 Omaha
29 former Lambton, Hetton & Joicey Colliery loco
Lucie

926 Repton was not working on the Thursday but i managed a photo of her being prepared inside Grosmont running shed

Finally 45248 Eric Treacy was out of service needing repairs which couldn't be finished in time for the gala

92134 will be replaced by 44806 tomorrow
Yeah, it failed on Saturday in the afternoon but I'm not sure what happened.

It was supposed to do the 17:15 to Pickering but that ended up being worked by Pendennis Castle and arrived over half an hour late (19:07 rather than the planned 18:28)

44806 worked the 18:15 to Pickering, which should have been Pendennis.

I stayed overnight at the Wentworth arms at Malton Thursday to Friday before another day at the NYMR Steam Gala.
Today i just decided to spend a few hours at Levisham, mainly to see the 2 Southern Locos double heading Adams T3 563 & Maunsell Schools Class 926 Repton
Earlier at Pickering 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley had an easy day shuttling 2 Teak coaches between Pickering and Levisham!!

60007 at Pickering
and at Levisham

After shunting the shuttle service into the sidings at Levisham 563 & 926 Repton arrive double heading a service from Grosmont to Pickering

60007 Sir Nigel Gresley then brought the shuttle service out of the sidings into Levisham station

Piglets Luci was doing brake van rides around Levisham all day

92079 (92134 really) arriving at Levisham with a Grosmont to Pickering service

4079 Pendennis Castle arriving at Lvishem with a Grosmont to Pickering service
