P1050579 - 2021-08-07 - EBA - MG Classic Cars and No. 7 - Beatrice at Embsay Station

A Photo from Day 8 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

When planning this "Rail Tour" I had hoped to go the Great Central Railway (GCR) at Loughborough but a lack of Timetables on their web site and a shortage of anything i viewed as attractive in terms numbers of Steam Locomotives in service on this day (Saturday) prompted a change of plan.

 

I decided to go to the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway (EBA) in the morning and I can move onto the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway (KWVR) in the afternoon. It is only about 30 minutes by car between the 2 railways.

 

As I was leaving Embsay Station, It had started Raining when I took this photo of MG Classic Cars which explains the MG headboard on Beatrice.

In the Background, No. 7 "Beatrice" has got the signal and is almost ready to set off on the next round trip .

 

"Beatrice" No. 7 is a Hunslet Works No. 2705 0-6-0ST loco.
