There is or was the remains of a pumping station or I presume that is what it is on the site of Wharrham Percy alongside the woodland area that was there in the very early eighties when My uncle and I fenced the site off and planted trees there. I don't know if this is what you are referring to.

That's fascinating. You can see the "pumping engine" on this map" https://maps.nls.uk/view/102344680 however on the large scale 1890 map it has gone. https://maps.nls.uk/view/125634268 Even if it was disused the 1890 map should still show it - it could of course have been surrounded by trees but it would be surprising if they omitted it ? It would be class to comb the site with a metal detector !

The building that we saw and entered was not all that big really, but some of the pipework was still in place. Water was running quite freely and at a quick pace.

In case anyone is interested I got a bit burnt out with the M&DR so I have turned my attention to the Easingwold Railway. This is the very early stages of it , really just the track. Somehow I had the idea that at just 2.5 miles I could do it in one day but it's been 4 days now !

My Easingwold line is , like an Australian tailor, making strides and here is a Holden F3 approaching Alne past Forest Hall farm bound for York. Although the F3 isn't native to the NER she is such a beautiful machine I can't resist using her.

Gosh Alan, didn't know you were so cosmopolitan, and urbane.

I love what Alan is doing here. If people see these simulations, it would give them a more complete history of what the line was all about. The odd bit I admit is a bit far-fetched, but it adds fun to it too.

Just wait till I get started on the Easingwold & Burdale Junction Railway

Now, this I would love to see.

An updated video of the line, nearly complete.

In case anyone has been wondering - or not - I upgraded my PC last year and in the process I managed to lose a vast amount of work I had done on the simulator but I have managed to retrieve some of it and here is an A8 passing through Burdale.
