The Goathland Buffet

One of the 79xxx series Class 126 vehicles survives in preservation today thanks to the NYMR using it for many years as a static buffet at Goathland station. Sc79443 is detailed in these two views on the 7th April 1985. Photography was difficult because of the location of the footbridge. The entrance was via the gangway door to the right. It is now at Bo'ness, a stripped out shell after asbestos removal. Malcolm Clements
