A new company has been awarded a short term lease to operate the railway until April 2007.

The North Bay Railway Company Ltd, a sister company to the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway, will operate trains every weekend during this period. This is the first time in its 75 year history that trains will have run during the winter time.

Two further locomotives (on left of photo) have been brought to Scarborough by the new operators.

"Poseidon" is identical to the Scarborough locos also having been built by Hudswell Clarke.
It is seen here being cleaned by Michael the CCLRs expert painter .

The 3 pacifics lined up on shed apron.

The second "new" loco is also a Hudswell Clarke product named "Robin Hood".
This tank locomotive has previously seen service in Leeds.

Locos are carefully positioned for a Press photo shoot.
