Yorkshire Wolds Railway

I called in on the YWR on 18th October 2015 and was pleased to find that they were offering cab rides in the diesel.

A view of the controls in the nice warm cab.

The line was quite short in 2015! In 2024 it extends to the end of the next field.

Here`s the platform at Fimber Halt on 13th October 2024.

Passengers travel in the superbly restored BR brake van.

It was nice and cosy in the van with its stove - but I chose to ride on the outside!

The line is now one quarter of a mile and the ride included reversing into the siding, which is at present controlled by the ground frame.

Returning to the station platform where there was a demonstration of static engines on this date.

The staff were happy to escort photographers lineside to the signalbox rescued from a farmers field in S. Yorkshire.

The present limit of the line. It is hoped to eventually reach Wetwang which is near the trees in far left distance.

The diesel returning to the station.

The box bears two different nameboards, having been orginally located at Sprotborough.

Ready for when they reach Wetwang is this lamp in their museum.
