The rolling stock preserved on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is used to operate trains on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR), a heritage railway in North Yorkshire, England. There is a variety of preserved steam and diesel locomotives and diesel multiple units, passenger coaches and goods wagons. Some are owned by the railway itself but most are owned by various individuals or voluntary groups. The line is also regularly visited by locomotives based elsewhere. Some come for a day on a railtour, others for a few days or weeks to take part in a special gala, but a few stay for many months and form part of the stock working scheduled trains.

Notes

  1. The locomotive can haul trains on Network Rail, only on the 6 miles (9.7 km) of the Esk Valley Line from Grosmont to Whitby. Whitby to Battersby via Grosmont during special events.
  2. Some mainline certified locomotives are not permitted to run on the line to Whitby due to various technical reasons, which may include: high axle weight exceeding the bridges maximum load on this route; the route's curves are too tight and may damage the locomotives driving wheels, etc.
  3. Certified for full mainline use on the National Network besides the Whitby to Battersby sections.
  4. Loco not permitted to operate over the mainline due to flange less centre driving wheels & route curves being too tight which could cause a derailment.
  5. Loco awaiting certification.
