Skipton, D7672 ‘Tamworth Castle’ Pathfinder Railtours 'The Rylstone Cowboy' October 27th 1990 Photo: Mike Taylor.

            What a fantastic period piece this is, taken by friend Mike Taylor 33 years ago to the day.
D7672 (25322) 'Tamworth Castle' has just arrived at Skipton with the tour train and a pair of Railfreight 31's are positioned ready to drop on the rear end to work T&T over the Grassington Branch to Rylstone. 
In the station a 144 departs to Morecambe (I think) and a 142 sits on the adjacent platform.
