NYMR’s home fleet, including 9F No. 92134; Black 5 No. 44806; SR Schools No. 926, Repton; Lambton Tank No. 29, Peggy; Cockerill No. 8, Lucie; NER Class P3 No. 2392; and No. 2253, Omaha, operated alongside the visiting locomotives,
“A lot of hard work went into the preparations for the Annual Steam Gala,” Nick Simpson, head of mechanical engineering at the NYMR, said in a release. “An event of this scale takes a huge amount of team work to put together and there is so much that goes on behind the scenes, from getting the engines ready, securing our iconic visiting locomotives. All of which wouldn’t be possible without the help of our visiting engine owners, volunteers and staff. So it is really something to see everyone’s efforts come together over the four days – and hear such great feedback from visitors.”
