Notes :
(1) Timings sheet shows 'engine reverses' against Dawes Lane on the return from
West Halton; does this indicate a propelling move to there, or was it just
turning the engine?
(2) Loco change points confirmation required (ither than at Selby). Seen at Winterton hauled by 64419.
(3) Peter Darke has photos in his collection showing;
a) 64419 at Stainforth Jn & West Halton on the North Lindsey Light Railway.
b) 65078 at Selby and Wheldrake on the Derwent Valley Light Railway
c) 60847 at York ('about to leave on last lap').
