I wanted to see 5043 at Scarborough, but as it was pouring down with rain over south and east Yorkshire, I opted to stay under cover at York. The train that I would've caught at York to Scarborough arrived at platform 4, a couple of minutes after '5043', hence, the platform change to 5 for '5043'. So I'd get to Scarborough a few minutes ahead of the steam loco. Better to stay at York under cover!
Looking south from platform 4 from where 'Earl of Edgcumbe' will appear.
This will be the second sighting of this Castle Class steam locomotive, last years' not being a particulary good one! This time, I have a much better vantage view.
'5043' comes to a halt at platform 5.
155344 at Platform 2.
Mk1 General Utility Van (GUV W96100)
Since I purchased my 00-gauge General Utility Van, I have been taking a very strong interest as to where these are placed within the consist. All the Mk1 coaches are from the pre-Nationalisation era of the GWR. I spotted a Mk1 Dining coach 'Eagle' which I once owned in 00-gauge.
5043 pulls away from York for Scarborough.
Bringing-up the rear is a class 37, no. 240.
LNER Class 91109 Sir Boby Robson arrives P4 for my ride to York at Doncaster Rail Station.
