Some photos from The North York Moors Railway plus a few of Whitby, taken in June 2012, on one of the very few days that year when the sun actually came out.

They’re not all of kettles; quite a few are of the veteran Class 24 D5061, which is probably as old as the 9F

I do like this shot, taken from the train window, of the long-disused viaduct that once carried the coast line between Middlesborough and Scarborough across the Esk just outside Whitby.

And finally, the ruins of Whitby Abbey, taken at sunset, after first taking precautions against being bitten by goths.
