It looks quite good. I see Grosmont is on it, does that mean that the NYMR is on it too?

The future? There are plans to reinstate the roof and water tower at Pickering station, Here's how it might look when 80135 pays a visit to the turntable to face North at the request of the Heartbeat producer. Unless they decide to rewrite railway history and use Repton instead

One of 3 BR livered D49's that will be on the YCR CD, This is 62765 "The Goathland" at Rillington Jnct. Rillington might once again becom a junction if plans to reinstate the railway to Pickering come to fruition, The report can be found here - http://www.northyorks.gov.uk/ltp/apr200 ... endix7.pdf

Yep, it's got both ends!!

Grosmont at the high end, and Pickering at the low end!! (And much more besides.)

Should be a UKTS freeware CD and download pretty soon.

I cannot miss this!!

BTW will the Q6 be outshopped in time for the gala?

From what I've heard there will be 2 rakes of LNER teak operating - I take it that the locos are all going to be in LNER livery aswell??

Being born in 1987 I missed the steam era

, never mind the LNER era, but it would be truely fantastic to have a real experience of the LNER era.

No Southern, GWR or diesel locos in sight!! Yippee!!

but i don't know for certain
cannot wait for this event !!!!!!
