Pure Steam On The North Yorkshire Moors Railway ! Annual Steam Gala (2022)

- The NYMR once again steps up to the plate to provide unrivaled hardworking steam action across four days at their annual Autumn steam gala with the star guest and former resident 'Sir Nigel Gresley' finally returning to the Moors after a seven year absence. The return of A4 was hyped up from the get go and rightly so, as the engine is not just popular with enthusiasts its also loved by the locals who've all had many trips behind arguably one of the most famous A4 locomotives, make no mistake its following is huge. The build up to the gala was less than ideal for SNGLT (owners) as the locomotive has been in the workshop all summer having some extensive work done to the engine which needed doing. Given the extra work involved the loco missed its slot in the paint shop so in turn the locomotive would remain in its temporary wartime black protective coat which made its return to the NYMR more exciting and fascinating.
While the star was undoubtedly 4498, there was as usual a couple more visiting engines with there own great following. The second star to visit was courtesy of the Great Central Railway and that was STD 5 '73156' making its first visit to the Moorsline and while the loco is used to the gentle gradients of the GCR, the STD 5 would have its workload increased tenfold as it tackles the rugged terrain of North Yorkshire Moors. The third visiting engine would have no problem working on steep gradients though it would be considerably less loaded than its fellow visitors. the engine in question would be Taff Vale Railway No85 courtesy of the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. The former Welsh Valleys loco would be needed for banking and use on the goods trains. On the final day it was paired up with Lambton Tank No29 'Peggy' for double headed run to Pickering, this would turn out to be one of the highlights of the gala.
As usual the homefleet were all in action except Black Five 5428 'Eric Treacy' which was ruled out. In total nine locomotives feature in the video. 9F 92134 was the pick of the bunch as I was able to tick off one of my bucket list shots in fine style. the 9F was captured working northbound through Newtondale at Huggits Scar on a glorious Autumn morning. The reason it was a bucket list shot was the fact the 9F was facing North which is rare for any steam locomotive on the NYMR as all locos usually face south. The railway has some stunning vistas especially going northbound out of Levisham but as usual these would be tender first. With a superb morning forecast and a smokebox facing loco, this was 'Now Or Never' On a sidenote it took us nearly two hours on foot to complete a round trip to this location with the journey on foot being mostly off piste, I'm sure you'll agree it was well worth the long hike.
Lambton Tank 29, the J27 and the Q6 alongside 926 Repton & fellow southerner 825 were all in fine form throughout the gala with plenty of double headed pairings and goods trains to get your teeth into. We also got to enjoy a ride behind the locos as we traveled the trains on the final day to top off one of our best visit's to the North York Moors in recent years. I hope you enjoy our coverage. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

The opening scene, taken from above, is absolutely superb. Best I've ever seen
There goes sir Nigel gresley now returning back to its current home in Yorkshire
I have seen stacks of steam videos, but this has to rank up there with the very best. Excellent scenery, great camara work, near perfect weather throughout, clear informative captions left on screen long enough to read and not a diesel tacked on the back anywhere. What more could you possibly want. It's a 10 from me.
Many thanks for your kind words. I can't guarantee the good weather in all my videos. Glad you enjoyed the video.
steam trains are just a work of art
When young my uncle would always instruct me after a rail journey to go and thank the engine driver for our ride. Advice, which I have always followed over many rides on many continents. Many thanks, a great selection of lovely videos. Rmb5*
Nice video great camera work as usual keep it up great stock of locomotives bye for now Philip
I am impressed with the beauty of European railways they are beautiful
Absolutely great film. The Lambton tank at Brockhole is superb. I can remember it taking on water at Penshaw in the mid 60s when I was a wee kid. It was the Lambton tanks that got me in my railway hobby.
Best wishes to the North Yorks and all the founders in it's 50th annivetsary year.
This one's going in my big screen demonstration videos, something I find myself doing more often than I'd expect 😆 What a fantastic video. Well done to everyone involved in the production of this 👏
I really like traveling in this way. Thank you for giving me this opportunity! Salutations de France
Fabulous. Thank you for bringing the images into my home.
Such a great video! I really hope that I'm going to see this live one day!
This has to be one of your best yet. Thank you for your efforts.
Brilliant video Liam and Phil. Fantastic opening shot and location. Superb coverage of this spectacular gala. We are both well considering we are both in the 70 y.o. Club. Hope you are keeping well to . Kind regards C&A
Thank you for this. Was wanting to finally visit the NYMR this year but other things cropped up. Maybe the spring gala next year I’ll be able to make the journey !
Great collection of shots of the locos in action loved the 4498 shots. Great catching up with you 2 during the gala. Richard
Thank you so much for your latest video, tremendous stuff, can't believe how overgrown everything is, stuff I used to see like the small viaduct at Esk Valley cottages is barely visible, yet some, like the opening shot is more open, it's a great video, thanks again, Pete
Grand video this Grommit aye lad. Champion. God bless you.
Wonderful shots, many thanks for sharing!
Fantastic video as always
26:18 Absolutely love this
Well that was sweet, love me a double header, steam rocks!
Great perspectives of a particularly scenic area of an amazingly beautiful island.
Nice video :)
Great Video, well done.
Super videos - just wish i'd been there for such a great mix of locos.
Superb video, enjoyed every second of it. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your comment.
A truly spectacular opening sequence. Kudos.
Very kind of you to say, thank you.
Thanks for the great upload, haven't been to NYMR for far too long, I'll see if I can persuade SWMBO to have a campervan visit to Yorkshire in the spring.
Superb sights and sounds!
Mark, Many thanks for watching and commenting.
Wonderful Content. Thank You For Sharing. Have a Good day!❤👍
Thank you! You too!
Another superb video of high quality well done
Richard, thanks for kind comment.
Nice vid - starting off with my favourite, the 9F! Kindly remind me what the LH&JC company was - thanks.
Lambton Hetton & Joicey Collieries or something similar, if I recall correctly
Repton always seemed to be assisted by something; I wonder if a large-wheeled 4-4-0 is really suited to that line
Roughly where abouts is 14:39 Just wonderiny
Great video! Very beautiful steam loomotives. Which Camera did you use?
Thank you very much. The camera used was a Panasonic VXF1.
73156 seemed to have a real slog with that train seen arriving at Goathland, but it was much faster on other runs with a similar load
The Pullmans are a lot heavier and there was also the extra wagon with the generator at the end of train.
