No. 4079 Pendennis Castle, a Great Western Railway Castle-class express locomotive built in 1924, is a guest on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for the Annual Steam Gala and stays on to haul trains over two October weekends. It is a rare chance to see a Great Western engine working in the North York Moors. Ride behind it with an ordinary ticket on the days it is running.
