NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS
7–8th May  Spring Steam Gala
This year's Spring Steam Gala was spread over three consecutive weekends, and as usual with 'Moors' galas featured a large selection of locomotives. Continuing its tour of the UK was recently restored N2 1744. The apple green tank has worked on five preserved lines since returning to service last June and was undoubtedly this year's star attraction hauling the LNER Coach Association's teak coaches. Making a welcome return to the NYMR was LNER A4 60019 Bittern, and completing the visiting loco roster were Black 5s 44871 and 45407. The remaining locos (in service during my visit) were made up from the home fleet: LMS Black 5 45428 Eric Treacy, S&D 7F 53809 and BR Standard 4 76079.
