Grosmont

First impressions can be misleading, with BR Standard 76079 appearing to be pulling a rake of coaches round a curve. However the smoke tells the truth, being forward of the chimney, as the loco is in fact providing additional propulsion on the rear of a 'Santa Special' being hauled by Beyer Peacock Gorton built BR Sulzer Type 2 D7628 as it approaches Grosmont en route to Glaisdale on Sunday 13 December 2015. The Standard hauled the return working back to Whitby, plus provided ample steam heating to the carriages.
