Heritage Railway

This is the platform at Grosmont station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

 

On the left is the beautiful varnished teak carriage set, comprised of eight carriages, dates from 1930 to 1950. These carriages have regularly appeared in films and television.

 

The NYMR can operate a genuine Pullman train bedecked in the famed Umber & Cream livery (on the right). There are four Pullman carriages, the oldest and most popular dates from 1928 and is known as Car No. 79.

 

In the middle is the steam train 926 ‘Repton’ which was completed at Eastleigh in May 1934. Repton was withdrawn from service on 30 December, 1962. Restored at Eastleigh by 1966 and went to Steamtown USA in Vermont, then Cape Breton Steam Railway in Canada. Repton is now back in service, in Southern Railways Olive Green under her old number 926 on the NYMR
