In the shed

In the shed
.A look into one of the loco sheds at the Grosmont NYMR depot and we see this once stately steam engine. Like many of these, this has got a lot of history. Engine 65894 (a J27) built for the LNER railway, has a 0-6-0 wheel configuration, and was built in Darlington in 1923 at a mighty price of £3537. She spent most of her working life on the north east coast pulling coal and later spent time on the York-Scarborough route with local goods. It has been restored several times and came to the NYMR in 1971 where it was a mainstay of its services. In 2018, at Grosmont, it underwent an overhaul at a cost of £450,000. I have no doubts that she will be running happily again soon.

Enjoy. full screen Herb

Nice to see you again Peter and good that you too have been here. (We have trod on many the same ground, you and I :) ) No, this loco was all silent in this shed. I think the whole system was still in Covid semi-lock-down mode Glad you liked it.

Keep good. Herb

You can say that again, as I am quite sure, most of them do not get paid.

Thanks Ed. It seems to have had a bust life and having had so much money spent on it recently, I suspect it has a lot of work still to do.

Keep safe. Herb
