Cresley Open Third 43632 Thoughts of submitting an HLF application to cover the cost of its restoration and partial conversion to a disabled coach have been temporarily placed on hold due to our present workload, but 43632 has recently been in the works

order allow 56856 to return to traffic. 43632 now rests on a spare pair of bogies whose wheels are not currently usable. Thompson Corridor Composite 18477

Andrew Daniel has now made the first sections of corridor side framing and has test-assembled these at his workshop in Harrogate, ready for fitting. However, the coach remains stranded in an unsatisfactory location at Grosmont, awaiting movement to Pickering, where it will have to be decontaminated of residual asbestos before work can begin to rebuild the badly rotted frame and then repair and fit the stored steel sheeting. This was made around 20 years ago and is generally in good condition despite having been stored outside for most of that time but will need repairing on some of the edges that have been in contact with the ground. Gresley Restaurant Buffet 641

641, 56856 and GN 3087 look to be amongst the earliest LNER coaches to be returned to Whitby running, as all 4 have already had some of the modifications carried out to them. 641 in particular is sought by the NYMR as a catering vehicle that could be useful for small party groups. It has recently had issues with some of its gas appliances condemned for not meeting with the current applicable standards. As the kitchen was originally supplied by the NYMR it is up to them to get it fixed, although the LNERCA has made a contribution as a goodwill gesture. Our assistance may be sought to help deal with the corroded rack plates at either end, which are lifting

rackplates requires lifting the body clear of the underframe, with all the dismantling and reassembly that entails. The LNERCA has experience of this work from the restoration of BTO 43567 and will gain more from transferring he body of 189 between underframes, whereas the NYMR staff do not. Ironically, this repair does not seem to required for Network Rail running but until the repairs are carried out the body will be significantly weakened and doors will require constant adjustment as the door apertures become distorted. Gresley Open Third 56856

to the scrapping limit when the coach was accepted into traffic, so have done well to last around 10 years. They have been replaced by the wheelsets from under 43632, which is now on accommodation bogies that will need re-tyring once 43632 is ready to enter service. The good news is

first hurdle for Whitby running.

Three sections of new corridor-side frame have been made for 18477 by Andrew Daniel and trial-assembled at his Harrogate workshop, ready for installation once the coach is moved to Pickering.

Firstly apologies for not properly signing off my article in the last edition of the

It is very pleasing to report that 3669 is now totally finished. It is in traffic on the NYMR, with working lavatory, working heaters, working electrics, working everything. Many congratulations to the 3669 team for their hours of painstaking labour to achieve this magnificent result. 1623 continues to make progress, and is now back on its own bogies. The stitching of the gangway bellows has proved to be a most difficult task, and one where we

1623 is completed we must have a celebratory launch event like we did for 3669. The ECJS189 project is now in full swing, with the work on the shortened underframe going on at MultiTal Logistics in Shildon, supervised by David Elliott, to whom we are much indebted. In parallel, work continues on the body in the Atkins shed. However, with the problems discovered on both the underframe and the body, the costs of this project will be at least 25% over budget, so in due course we will have to find this shortfall from somewhere. Judging by the comments made by visitors who have seen it in the Atkins shed, we can be sure that when finished, it will be absolutely stunning.

contractors to remove the asbestos lagged steam pipe, it will be moved to Pickering, where the structural problems will be tackled by our specialist contractor, Andrew Daniel. Andrew has already made a large number of components ready for fitting. Now, on to an important future strategy issue for the Association and the NYMR. Ever since platform 2 opened at Whitby, the teak coaches have played second

approvals to run there. This has meant that they have barely been used outside the peak timetable, and even then for only one return trip between Pickering and Grosmont per day. With the go-ahead in principle for the teak coaches to run to Whitby, they will be able to run in any train, any time.

coaches infrequently. It seems that seating capacity is all that matters. It is true that only two of our carriages have the equivalent seating capacity to a BR Mark

Mark One rake on those services instead.

passengers? Look at the smiles on the faces of the people travelling in our

nostalgia, which is what our carriages offer in abundance. Any marketing guru will tell you that to stay in business you have to constantly improve your u.s.p. So, to compete in an increasingly competitive leisure market, the NYMR needs

carriages, not less. Other leading preserved railways recognise this, like the Bluebell and the SVR, each of whom only have one rake of Mark Ones in their fleets, their other rakes all being heritage. There is another objection to using our carriages to maintain? This is very questionable. I have yet to see any evidence that teak rots more quickly than steel rusts. In fact the anecdotal evidence is that teak coaches last longer between major overhauls than Mark 1s look at Buffet Car

overhaul (although it does need one now). I suspect that this perception of higher maintenance costs has come about because of the need to varnish the teak every two years, but hopefully we have a solution to that problem on the horizon, with the possibility of a carriage shed before too long.

nostalgic experience of travelling in our carriages, and because they are less costly to maintain than Mark 1s, the NYMR should try to use them in preference. After all, each time one of our coaches enters traffic it provides the equivalent of two Mk 1s to the railway, free of charge, if we look at a Mk 1 requiring major attention every 10 years and Gresley needing it every 20 years, as experience with 641 suggests. That means that the NYMR should be actively supporting the Association in getting our fleet restored to running order in preference to overhauling their own, but it also suggests that there needs to be an investment by the railway in consumable items such as spare wheelsets whilst they can still be had, something that has not happened as yet. There is of course a counter argument. Because our carriages are historic vehicles, restored to very high standards, should they not be kept as museum pieces and only rolled out for used on special occasions like galas, wartime

teak Quad Art set. The less use they get by the public the less likely they are to be damaged. Maybe the answer lies somewhere between these two extremes, with the Association providing a working set of high capacity carriages for everyday use, plus a variety of special coaches to be rolled out as and when required. If
