Fantastic video. J27 an incredibly smooth riders as well as puller. I saw these as well as Q6 on Consett ore trains. Congratulations too on getting young folks interested in steam loco’s. All that’s missing is LMER livery.
I try to ride this engine as often as possible, because the other old NER engines have been suffering cylinder failures. This J27 is 100 years old, and has already had cracks in the block repaired. It might not be around forever so use it while it works!
Even scrap cylinders are repairable - just look at the Q6, currently fundraising for a new cylinder casting with the aim of getting back in Steam before the boiler cert expires. Steam locos are repairable almost indefinitely, though some of the bigger castings do cost quite a bit to make.
We were were thinking of going on this recently when we staying in pickering Yorkshire, don't get me wrong I know a lot a of work and expense goes into running a railway but £40 each is a bit much
There are cheaper tickets for shorter journeys. A two station ticket eg Pickering to Goathland or Goathland to Whitby. Or a one station ticket eg Whitby to Grosmont. Prices are on the NYMR website Www.Nymr.co.uk/pages/category/book-tickets
I've got to disagree there. If you're going from Pickering to Grosmont and back that £40 is taking you about 36 miles, so only just over a pound a mile, and if you're going out to Whitby that's a 48 mile round trip so it's less still. I think that's decent value given the cost of maintaining and running steam locos, especially now with coal so hard to obtain. Not to mention that you can now get an all year pass for the same price. No connection with the railway btw, just enjoyed my recent holiday there.
The ticket price is a bargain because it lasts for 1 year. Even though I have a ticket I spend more time hanging out at Grosmont sheds and station, a living museum, that is all free. Other times I’ll get 6 trains in one day. The running costs are 1000 times more than you would imagine.

Excellent footage there on the footplate of the J27
Nice job, like the new angle 😃

65894 had a new cylinder block fitted at the last overhaul. It’s certainly worth riding behind it😊

That's ridiculous 40 pound gets you a year's travel it's basically a steal
