I know we're not a predominantly train-enthusiast forum but a few expressed their appreciation of railways in a trip planning thread so I thought I may as well start one dedicated to an attraction that is very local and dear to me.
For those who don't know, the North Yorkshire Moors Railways is a heritage railway running from Pickering to Whitby (and very occasionally Esk Valley). It's a beautiful route and they frequently run fantastic events, most notably the War Weekend held in Autumn where the whole of Pickering immerses itself in war nostalgia and gets dressed up and stuff - war geeks on this forum would love it, it's full of antiques and such.
This video gives a pretty good introduction to the place, I just kind of wondered if any of you had visited and what you thought to the attraction?
