Virtual Locomotive Roster for Bank Holiday Weekend 8th – 10th May and Mid-week 13th May 2020 by news@kwvr

This week we take our virtual weekend back to 2018. Due to VE Day celebrations on the 8th May taking place across the UK, we will be operating a virtual Blue timetable on each day, so it will be steam locomotives on all trains, Friday and Sunday and an early morning diesel service on Saturday, with steam for the rest of the day. The steam services will be in the hands of S160 5820 being joined by MR 4F 43924.

The Saturday morning diesel railcar service will operate with the Class 101 diesel multiple unit. This week sees the virtual return of the Wednesday Diesel Railcar service on 13th May.

NYMR BR standard class 4

That class four drawing the Gresley set firmly

places this re-creation in the 1950's 60's

I do remember them for real

The little moguls had quite a bit of power

NYMR The Gresley set

Train travel in the 1930's 

The bar does look a bit utilitarian

But the standard of comfort is without doubt

You can well imagine well appointed ladies fixing 

their makeup in the mirror before alighting

All teak bodies, good weather resistance

NYMR Levisham

Levisham station takes a bit of finding by car

But is is well worth the effort

Inside the small signal box

Perfect surroundings 

Great little cafe and seating area

Always best seen by train though

Magnificent Gresly set
