Photographs

This month we have pictures showing the derelict Scruton Station both before restoration started in 2008 and the nearly finished result at the end of 2013. Compare this with the photo showing it in the 1950s.

Bedale Station and shop are also featured. There are also two posters advertising the Weighbridge Hut at Hawes and a picture of the WR stand at last year's Doncaster Model Railway Exhibition.
