65894 & LHJC 29

J27 0-6-0 65894 (NER P3 2392) pilots LHJC 0-6-2T 29 over Thomason Foss on the climb from Beckhole to Goathland NYMR during the 'Rail 175' gala held from 6-9th October 2000. This locomotive pairing was a re-enactment of the NYMR re-opening train run on 1st May 1973. In May 2012 the NYMR celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Re-opening and whilst it is hoped that No. 29 will be ready following overhaul, 65894 (2392) is currently(2013) at Hopetown Works Darlington awaiting overhaul as and when the owners, NELPG, have sufficient resources. K1 2-6-0 62005 will deputise for 65894 on 1/5/2013 when a special train commemorating the re-opening special will be run.
