- Highlights from a day on the footplate at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, starting on-shed with the preparation of BR Standard Tank 80136 for the morning departure out of Pickering.
Followed by brief shunting duties on Sulzer Bo-Bo 'Sybilla' in Grosmont station and finally a round trip to Pickering on the footplate of 76079.
No narration required. The footage says it all. Thoroughly enjoyed the journey - Thank you.
😊
Lovely video mate
Great video, love the footplate - such a good place, that reverser looks really wierd, never seen one like it
Hi no23mk2, I appreciate you spending time to provide feedback and very glad you enjoyed the ride.
The driver appears to be as happy as "Smiler" in Dr Beeching.
Enjoyed!
Hi Thomas, thanks for your comment
Don’t know, but the NYMR web site should point you in the right direction. BTW: This wasn’t a footplate experience.
Nice film with immaculate 4MTs
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, these engines are ideally suited to the NYMR.
Has someone renumbered that BR class 4 tank loco'? Last I saw they had 80135.
Keith Parker very observant! BR Standard class 4 tank No. 80135 is at the NYMR, as is No. 80136. Both are ex- Brighton works mashines and both initially based (I think) at Plaistow shed. However, don’t take my word for it, as I live in Germany. Someone on the NYMR should be able to confirm that. As far as I am aware, 80136 has not been renumbered. Stay safe 👍🏻
@@flippop101 Thanks for your response. Just looked it up, don't know why I didn't think of ot earlier.
It seems BOTH loco' are at NYMR. When I was young I used to work on repairing those loco's at Derby Loco' Works. Must say, I never saw a cracked frame on a BR loco'.
Some of the old company loco's were notorious, especially the Stanier 3 cyl. 2500 class tanks.
Look up how quickly they disappeared when D.M.Us arrived
Yet many of the older Fowler tanks carried on for a while. Best wishes.
@@flippop101 Further to my earlier response, an old inspector from the LMS days at Derby Loco Works told me that the best 2-6-4T loco's were the Fairburns. I do not know what he based his observations on, I wish I had been much more observant when I was there. I understand that 2 Fairburn tank loco's survive but I do not know where they are.
Can't understand why he spent so long with the draincocks open
Standards take a while to warm through, and being the first movement of the day, it's better to leave them open rather than risk damage.
Do you have to be miserable to be a Driver?.
One day when I win the Euromillions it's my dream to buy 80100 and put her back on the road ... sigh ...
Good to see Bill Gates is keeping himself occupied.
Ha! Brilliant - I guess you've got to keep yourself occupied when going through a costly divorce :-)

What a miserable driver.
I would be grinning from ear to ear if I were in his seat. Lol..
