Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway

Harvest of Steam
2008

Morayshire near Draughton. (c) Matthew Fisher The 2008 event featured the first visit of Morayshire to a preserved railway in England. It was also the first time the loco had run in England since 1975, so quite a coup! The event featured:

  • Morayshire - visiting from Scotland

  • Darfield No.1 - visiting from Langollen for a year

  • Monckton No.1 running well

  • A mixture of diesels (D.5600 and D.1524) owing to 140 being withdrawn.

    The event proved to be very popular with a lot of visitors. Travelling behind Morayshire was certainly a lure for many! There were demonstration freight trains, trains using the Stately Trains carriages as well as trains with the Mk.Is. Below are a selection of pictures from the 2-day event and the one photo charter that did manage to take place owing to the engine's late arrival.
