Pickering's T409 seems to have more fuel outside its tank than in it..... This is their super B that runs Mallee to Melbourne under permit. August 2017.
The embryonic North Yorkshire Moors Railway acquired AC Cars railbus W79978 immediately after withdrawal in 1968. It was one of five units supplied by the Thames Ditton manufacturer in 1958, as part of an unsuccessful effort to prolong the life of un remunerative rural lines. AC Cars - a company best known as a sports car manufacturer - was one of five companies that supplied a total of 22 vehicles as part of the short-lived railbus experiment. Deemed non-standard, all were withdrawn from revenue by the end of 1967, but two AC Cars vehicles, plus a further four other units were secured for preservation.
The former W79978 is seen here just beyond the precincts of Pickering station, standing by the bridge spanning Pickering Beck. It has had a peripatetic life since this view was taken, involving spells on the Kent & East Sussex Railway (1979-84), the Colne Valley Railway (1984-2019), before moving to the Swindon & Cricklade Railway, where it currently resides.

Pickering is the southern terminus of the NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS RAILWAY.
The original Pickering station was opened on 26 May 1836 forming the southern terminus of the horse drawn Whitby & Pickering Railway. The site of the station was just north of the present building.
When the York & North Midland Railway took over the Whitby & Pickering Line and built a branch from Malton to meet at Pickering, a new station was built to accommodate steam locomotives.
The present station was opened on 7 July 1845.
Two views showing Pickering station, at first glance you would think that the station had always looked like this but the overall roof was removed in 1952 and only replaced in 2011. I don't know the date of the top photo other than it's between 4th June 1948 when 69865 was given it's BR number and reallocated to Whitby and 1952 when the roof was removed. The bottom photo was taken on 11th August 2015 and shows BR Standard 5MT 2-6-0 No 76079 after arriving with the 1000 from Whitby. The big difference is that 69865 will depart for Malton but 76079 will terminate here and run round it's train to return to Whitby as Pickering is now a Terminus station.
I have not managed to find who is the copyright holder of the top photo but if he contacts me I'll ether credit him or remove it.

Pickering Castle in North Yorkshire UK.
The original structure was built by the Normans under William the Conqueror in 1069–1070. This early building included the large, central mound (the motte), the outer palisades (enclosing the bailey) and internal buildings, notably the keep on top of the motte. Ditches were also dug to make assault on the walls difficult. The main purpose of the castle at this time was to maintain control of the area after the harrying of the North.

Originally, 1836, Pickering was the southern terminus of the horse worked Whitby and Pickering Railway (W&P) engineered by George Stephenson.
In 1845 the W&P was taken over by George Hudson's York and North Midland Railway (Y&NM) and the present station was built (to the design of George Townsend Andrews. The Y&NM converted the line into a double track steam railway and constructed the link from Pickering to Rillington Junction on the new line from York to Scarborough.
Under British Railways (BR) the present station lost its characteristic overall roof in 1952 as an economy measure, the roof being replaced by awings.
Pickering station carried on as usual until its death knell was sounded in the Beeching Report of 1963 which planned the closure of all railways serving Whitby. Despite a fierce local campaign of opposition the line between Rillington Junction and Grosmont closed on 8 March 1965. The line from Rillington as far as New Bridge signal box (about a mile north of the station) remained open for goods for a further year, a solitary signalman being retained at Pickering to work all the cabins needed by the goods trains.
In 1967, a group of local residents and enthusiasts set up the North Yorkshire Moors Railway Society with the aim of preserving the line. Services began in 1970, and on 22 April 1973 the entire line from Grosmont to Pickering was reopened.

Manufactory, formerly a pair of dwellings with rear workshop ranges. Early C19.
MATERIALS: Red brick with bracketed eaves to a hipped slate roof and plain band corniced chimneys.
PLAN: Rectangular plan comprising a pair of former dwellings with workshop ranges extending to the rear.
EXTERIOR: Near-symmetrical three-storeyed frontage of four bays onto Caroline Street. The fenestration consists of revealed sash windows, some of which retain their glazing bars. The ground and first floor window openings have painted stone sills and reeded lintels flanked by shallow consoles to thin cornices over. The entrance is sited in the second bay from the left. The door case has engaged, slender, fluted Greek Doric columns which support an entablature and open bracketed pediment. There are plain reveals to the round-headed doorway and a six-panel door with a plain fanlight. A panel above the first floor windows reads `PICKERING & MAYELL LTD / RELIANCE WORKS'. The north return (Kenyon Street) of the attached workshop ranges which extend from the rear of both houses retain some original wooden-framed multi-pane windows.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: To the front (west) are cast-iron railings with crescent heads of distinctive Birmingham type.
HISTORY: The area around St Paul's Square to the north west of the city centre was developed as a residential and industrial zone from the 1820s and was eventually to become the Jewellery Quarter. The jewellery-case-making works of Pickering and Mayell Ltd, known as Reliance Works, was built in around 1826, originally as a pair of houses (Nos.41-42) with rear workshops. Early occupants included the noted Birmingham silversmiths George Unite and Nathaniel Mills. The company of Pickering and Mayell has occupied the premises since circa 1900.
SOURCES: John Cattell and Bob Hawkins, The Birmingham Jewellery Quarter: An Introduction and Guide (2000), pp. 14, 48
REASON FOR DESIGNATION: 42 Caroline Street is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Early-C19 dwellings with rear workshops that retains the distinctive architectural and plan form characteristics of a jewellery-manufactory building
* Strong group value with other listed jewellery manufactory buildings
* It exemplifies the early pattern of development of a manufacturing district of Birmingham now considered to be of international significance

Not sure what happened to it, or why it is like this. Obviously was about Pickering & Mayell Ltd.

I make no apologies for three photos of 37274 at Pickering station!
We were having trip out to one of our favourite secondhand bookshops, it's just opposite Pickering in North Yorkshire - a huge selection of railway books at ridiculously good prices!
37264 was a bonus with its short empty stock working.

Pickeral Frog (Lithobates palustris) is a relatively large frog that is often confused with the Northern Leopard Frog (Rana pipiens). However, the Pickerel frog has two parallel rows of squarish chocolate-brown spots on its back, between the dorsolateral folds, while the Leopard frog's spots are more irregular and scattered. They can be distinguished by the bright yellow or yellow-orange color on the inside concealed surface of the thigh. Leopard frogs are white in the same area.
