Looking down into the workshop where the A1 Locomotive Trust are constructing an example of the LNER P2 class, to be numbered as 2007 and named "Prince of Wales" - it will cost more than £5,000,000.00 to complete. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_P2 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_P2_Class_2007_Prince_of_Wales www.a1steam.com/prince-of-wales/home

A detail that made me smile ... given that I am currently [2022] rebuilding two very similar waggons for the National Coal Mining Museum.

An ex-LNER 7-plank "general goods" waggon capable of carrying 12 tons. [Tare - 6-19-1 or 6ton 19cwt]. Waggon no 223162, built 1938. Cosmetically restored and repainted in Bauxite / Red Oxide and lettered as "Highley Mining Company ltd" ... note : split in sole bar

An interior view in 23956, showing a damp patch on the window ledge / reveals. There is a leak coming to the surface here, right in the corner. I first noticed it with the coach in motion and very heavy rain falling, on the return from Pickering.

The varnished teak exterior of carriage 23956. Gresley designed, Open Third, built in 1936.

Haltwhistle Railway Station (old postcard). Taken sometime between the two world wars (so 1920s - 1930s, the caption says the mid-30s). A very busy place, it looks like four engines working, with a multitude of rolling stock and sidings, even a turntable. Today (2021) there are just the two through lines (Newcastle / Carlisle) and a single, short siding remains in the goods yard, although the goods shed has gone, to be replaced by a signal cabin. The rest of the buildings, including the listed signal box and the footbridge remain. Recently, the South Tynedale Railway bought the land on which the Alston branch line train is standing. They have a long term aim of reaching Haltwhistle with their 2ft gauge track, despite the "bypass" having severed their embankment. Their most recent extension was to Slaggyford, but the Covid-19 pandemic caused them massive financial problems, effectively bankrupting their operational activities. The viaduct now carries a walking/cycle route.

People free, as she was on the running line.

It was very busy, so most of my images have plenty of people in them. . Left to right - Union of South Africa (* & on running line), Sir Nigel Gresley*, Dwight D Eisenhower, Bittern*, Dominion of Canada, Mallard. (* denotes in light steam)
