From Andrew Fairholms ticket collection.
The empty stock arrives into Newcastle.
The run-round at Morpeth - by the signal box, not in the station.
A chance for photos at Scots Gap.
Woodburn. On Arrival, a Scottish Piper played a lament for the passing of the
railway then, because of a short headshunt, the locos ran round the train one
at a time.
Coach nameboards in addition to a headboard on the locos!
