| The last week end of October was chosen for the Yorkshire Dales Railway disesel gala and was met with splendid weather. I visited on the Sunday morning and witnessed D1524, 31 119 and two shunters running the services. Unfortunately 20 189 was sidelined with a fault. Although its a short branch, the line is picturesque and I managed to get a few decent shots during the morning. All photos taken on Sunday 29 October 2006 |
