With 42639 on the RCTS 'The North Yorkshireman Rail Tour' special. This was a most adventurous tour to a number of far flung ex-North Eastern branch lines. This tour suffered from a multitude of minor problems, including unrealistic scheduling, many of the problems seem to have arisen from the late strengthening of the train without adequate thought to the length of run round loops leading to pathing problems, slow running due to indifferent track condition and plenty of Yorkshire rain!
