Geared steam locomotive
This gearing is part of the machinery within the locomotive and should not be confused with the pinion that propels a rack locomotive along the rack between the rails. The geared steam locomotives that have been built have been for conventional track, relying on the adhesion between wheels and rail.
North Bay Railway
The four Diesel-Hydraulic locomotives are of common vintage and were constructed in the same works. The first two belong to Scarborough Borough Council, have operated on the North Bay Railway since construction, and are currently leased to the operating company. The other two locomotives are directly owned by the operating company and were originally built for the Golden Acre Park in Leeds. After its closure they were also used at Morecambe, Kilverstone and Great Woburn Safari Park. They were moved to the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway for storage before finally being relocated to Scarborough in December 2006. In 2016 "Georgina", the railway's first ever steam locomotive, was finally completed and entered revenue earning service over the Easter holiday. She has proved to be very popular, with the crews and public alike, and is easily capable of hauling a loaded, five coach, train up the steep hill, to Scalby Mills station.
