1990s TR Videos

Dave Dixon noticed a couple of YouTube videos of Tanfield by Nick Tozer:

1990 video - still shows Gamma, FGF, No.16 & MH shed roof in poor condition

This 18 minute video shows operation between Marley Hill & Sunniside, with Andrews House & Causey under construction.   Spot the offloading siding at Bowes Bridge, 3 boards at Terrace Junction, Irwell's shed at the drops, etc
1994 video - still shows No,4, Progress & Gamma in MH shed with newly-covered roof
(George will again be one of tomorrow's drivers)

Following the LRO, this 10 min video features travel behind Wellington on the new extension to East Tanfield, where the station is yet to be built.  Note the MR carriage body at Causey, the new workshop & start of the 5 road shed alongside the turntable shed.

The gala roster for 1994 shows locos & footplate crew around at the time.
