Opening with footage of 2018 returnee J27 65894 on the early morning Matt Fisher/NYMR Photo Charter with the lines impressive freight set, which included on wagon Talyllyn Railway Number 6 0-4-0WT Douglas sporting her RAF 100 blue livery.
The visit of Douglas was to celebrate RAF 100, with SR 4-6-2 Battle of Britain class locomotive 34081 92 Squadron (The Battle of Britain Locomotive Society /Nene Valley Railway) also fitting this theme. Centurion GWR 2-8-0 2857 visited for the Severn Valley Railway and we see this in a couple of shots between Grosmont and Goathland. Southern Railway V Schools 4-4-0 class 926 Repton ran during the weekend without smoke deflectors and we see her on the lines goods set at Beck Hole. The J27 is parted with her NELPG stable mate Q6 63395 at Water Ark, before we see some further footage of her on the freight train. Standard 4mt 80136 is currently facing north and seen arriving into Goathland. Unfortunately on a couple of shots there have been some audio problems but I have included these at the end because visually they still paint a picture, these were 92 Squadron on the teaks and 926 Repton on a freight. Flying Scotsman has been hauling excursions over the East Lancashire Railway over the August Bank Holiday Weekend and in early September, she is seen below at Ramsbottom on 7th September 2018. A weekend earlier I paid a visit to the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway for their Steam Gala with visiting locomotive 'Superb'. Click here for video and pictures from the gala.
