Hello and welcome to another Mainline Steam Production.
Today we are on board Railway Touring Companies second and final Whitby Flyer tour from York with with LMS 8F 48151 and LNER B1 1264. The B1 had a repaint into LNER lined black, and renumbered to 1264 which looked stunning. Much better than BR lined black, which had been previously worn on her. It made a nice change I think, and thanks to the B1 trust the repaint.
Originally advertised for one of Carnforth's LMS Jubilee locomotives, 48151 was on the tour instead, which initially was a little disappointing, and the fact she was doing ECML legs too, instead of the B1, since the B1 is faster.
However, I still enjoyed the day out very much, and little things such as steam locomotive changes, and which way they were facing were not big issues at all.
We first start at York where we see 48151 leading the train into the station with the B1 on the rear, before shortly heading out over the East Coast Mainline to Thirsk, our final stop.
We then speed through Northallerton, making our way to Darlington, where we stopped for water, and a change of direction. The train was unable to stop at Northallerton due to pathing reasons.
Leaving Darlington, 1264 lead the way to Battersby. The run from Darlington to Middlesbrough was fairly sedate, due to the amount of speed restrictions and junctions along the route, however, as soon as we passed Middlesbrough, 1264 began the long, steep climb to Nunthorpe, with gradients as steep as 1:44. 48151 assisted on the last stretch, so 1264 wouldn't bring the heavy train to a stand. This was the highlight of the whole day.
Soon we arrived into Battersby, for some more water, and another change of direction, before 48151 lead the way into Whitby.
This was the first time having steam leading on a Battersby to Whitby run. Whenever the NYMR run their trains to Battersby, Class 25 D7628 takes the train back into Whitby, so this was a rare moment for me.
Before arriving at Whitby, we stop at Glaisdale to let a Northern service past, before stopping at Grosmont, to let passengers who wanted to explore the NYMR off.
At Whitby, we see Class 25 D7628 and SR V Schools Class 926 Repton on NYMR service trains, before looking around the town and returning.
Back on board, we head back to Battersby with 1264 leading, before leaving her, and having 48151 solo back to York. We went the direct route to York via Yarm, dropped off passengers at Northallerton and Thirsk, before finally arriving back into York.
At York, we leave the train and see 48151 depart to Holgate, which is where we end this video.
Thanks for reading and watching, hope you enjoyed!
