There are a number of factors which could contribute to this. Amongst these were the use of Pullman cars on normal branch line trains, hauled by the 4-4-0Ts imported for the task from the Midland & Great Northern Railway in their attractive ‘Yellow’ livery; the use of steam railmotors; the use, in the 1970s, of one of the last class ‘17’ ‘Clayton’ types.

About this product

Product Information

The Nickey Line has seen some most unusual train formations/locomotives over the years. Amongst these were the use of Pullman cars on normal branch line trains and the use of steam railmotors. Passenger trains ceased in 1947 although the last excursion train ran in 1960. Part of the line was to remain in use for freight from Claydale Sidings until 1979. The Nickey Line lives on, however, as a footpath and cycleway which is now known as the 'Nicky Way'. Presented in an A5 format, this book consists of 160 pages, with 147 illustrations.
