North Yorkshire Moors Railway - 12th June, 1999
Not a diesel event, but actually a Thomas weekend. However, for the diesel heads (including my kids!), an added bonus was 50027 working a single journey northbound on the first train of the day. As we were on holiday in Scarborough at the time, it would have been churlish to refuse! A class 08 and a blue steamer masquarading as Thomas performed an act alongside Grosmont shed between trains.
