Alston
0-6-2ST Barber runs past the signal box at Alston in May 2016 as it draws forward to couple on to its train after running round. It seems to be semi-permanently coupled to a four wheel hopper wagon, emblazoned with GAS. This may be just in homage to the loco's working life at Harrogate Gas Works, but it may also be a nice solution to the problem of where to put the air brake compressor for the STR coaches.
