In 2012, we went back to Barrow Hill for another strong
ex-LNER line-up. Not illustrated amongst the few photos I took were Joem, the
only steam locomotive I have ever driven [for half an hour], and the “Old
Gentleman’s Saloon”.
Featured in the film of the Railway Children that was shot
on the Keighley and Worth Valley, LNER Saloon 21661 is, according to the
K&WVR, “arguably the oldest operational standard gauge passenger coach in
the world”.
I’m certainly not going to argue. I had a nice sit down for a minute or two, and for some reason I felt very comfortably at home in there.
