Jimby in York October 2006

With the new sized photographs it is too much for one page.

Jimby York Castle and the Civil War

This was frightening at The Castle Museum. I was just sitting about and all these soldiers were behind me from something called the Civil War. Luckily Mick said they were models and I relaxed a little.

Jimby in an old shop

More fun in an old shop sitting on the scales

Jimby in Gypsie caravan

I heard that Gypsies lived in this caravan and it was so colourful and pretty.

Flying Scot being overhauled

Finally back to the railway and what I thought was some junk! Mick was most upset and explained it was the chassis of The Flying Scot being overhauled. Then I remembered on the way from Peterborough to York I saw a board at the side of the track saying how fast it had gone and broken some speed record. Hope it had some wheels then.

Jimby on Stephenson's Rocket

Shouldn't have sat on this one but I knew it was old and important from the Internet and was one of the first steam engines. Wonder if there are any monkeys called Rocket.

Jimby on York Station

Journeys end at York Station. So many platforms and so long. I never get lost though as use all my skills finding the right train.

What a time I had and can't wait for our next trip. Might be a day in London or Leeds wherever that is.

Cheers for Now Jimby UK MM
