Thank you, Hopefully I'll build a little further when time permits

I've only built as far as Ravenscar and apart from around stations the scenery is incomplete, I'm putting a quick video together to show progress so far and I've used a DMU for you

Thanks very much, Mark, looking forward to watching it, I lived in Scarborough many years ago, but never got to ride on the last train from Whitby to Scarborough

Unfortunately this was green arrow when the coach emergency break handle was pulled nothing to do with the crew

You couldn’t be any more wrong with that statement 😂

Only as far as permitted

@@NorthYorkshireCoastRail One trip I did we went all the way down the high line!

They did a great job in deep snow and on hard packed ice on steep hills and tight corners when driven carefully, The car was a 1.5 Impreza with AWD and low ratio box so when combined with the Goodyears it got me anywhere, I kept them on all Summer but they did tend to squeal and sound a bit Hollywood when cornering hard on hot roads

Thankyou, At the time of building all I had was a drawing in a book for reference, I'll take another look in a future rebuild

@@NorthYorkshireCoastRail try the National Library of Scotland's online collection of old maps.

Sorry Neil but you are VERY WRONG. I personally have lived here since 1945 , am a local historian and the Train DID pass under the bridge prior to the station. It is NoT the same line as the present day Potash Train or the Whitby line you refer too. You are assuming Wrongly that it is. There were 2 lines side by side coming into Carlin How Station. Both coming in above the Hairpin bend from the zig zag. I have Been on them, Walked them many times. The middle line DID run into the valley low down but came back up an incline to attain the height for the DOUBLE bridges and passed under the bridge on the lower of the 2 lines which continued side by side right into Skinningrove works. Thats a fact.

@@NorthYorkshireCoastRail No need to change it Mark. Your simulation is almost as good as it could be. See reply to Neil. Your video is the tops. Take it from one who has walked those paths and lines for over 70 years. Ignore the old maps mentioned in Scotlands archives and trust the ones from around here including the photographic evedence. 1000s of men around here have seen it and can testify. Well done , a superb part of our history brought to life by your simulation. Keep up the good work. Derick.

@@derickpearson1078 well going by the 1927 25 inch OS map (available in the National Library of Scotland's website) there were 2 lines leaving Carlin Howe the western one went over Kilton Beck embankment after passing through Skinningrove Skinningrove Halt and the western one went down the zig-zag to the mines at Skinningrove. The two lines came together just north of the station. Apart from the removal of the embankment after August 1963 and the building of the new viaduct the Boulby line is on the same alignment as the Cleveland Railway as clearly can be seen by comparing the modern OS maps with the historic ones.

Quite possible the chassis of the one which ran away and turned over in the valley. It may well have been easier to dissmantle part and leave part than try to bring it back from there. I heard some stories of a similar nature.

@@derickpearson1078 what side of the valley would it have fallen into

@@Cinnerman87 It could only fall into the valley one way from the Zig Zag line as the lines were on the slopes of the East side of the shale mountain built to fill in the valley under the viaduct and of course it dropped a 100 or so feet down "from the present day line level" into the valley where the stream and culvert ran underneath. If you know the area and LOFTUS BANK, it would be as follows.... As you leave Carlin How go down under the Balfour Beaty road bridge toward the Hairpin Bend, on the very tight curve of the bend walk straight ahead on the gravel path toward the wood. as you enter the wood path, walk about 200 yards and the Train that ran away would be on your left looking down toward the stream which goes under the road at the bottom of Loftus bank at the mill. When I was child there were still Coal Cakes (round pressed lumps of coal) scatterered about. If you look from on top of the viaduct at Liverton side as it is now, you would look towards the coast and Skinningrove village to see the area the train eventually came to rest. If you know where the North East end of the culvert is..you would look up the shale mountain from the culvert about 50 foot to the right to the location. I hope this helps. I have some photos with great detail on them. I will if you wish post some on facebook later. Which will show clearly all the events spoke of in the above comments.

@@derickpearson1078 I live in Carlin how my father Martin Smith knows you I believe However I don't have facebook but if you want my email address I will gladly give it to you

@@derickpearson1078 I'll make a Facebook page and add you
