Hi Philip

Kinlet Hall is a beauty, the class is pretty well known from the Harry 
Potter films - which, BTW, were partly shot at Goathland station on the 
NYMR.

The Earl too, the Castle Class are pretty superb engines. Another one of 
the class, "Nunney Castle", spent quite a long time on the NYMR, also in 
green livery and lots of shining brass - seen here at Goathland in 2006
