StoneRoad2013 has posted:

The remaining evidence of the original, highly decorative, livery on this door of the Pullman car "Balmoral" ... a considerable amount of the original interior is within the carriage, I was pleased to note.

Restoration paused at present, note that "Balmoral" was one of four exported as kits from Detroit, and currently contains parts from "Dunrobin" which fitted perfectly when installed.

see later picture ...

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

Spotted this crane at Bolton Abbey station - where there are fairly extensive rebuilding works in progress.

A little research has indicated that this is LNER 8742, one of a pair of 15ton Cowans & Sheldon breakdown cranes, built in 1945/6. It survived to be one of the last BR Civil Engineering cranes. It was used by E&BAR to help relaying under Holywell Bridge in 2003.
Currently out of service awaiting boiler overhaul and rope inspection.

The "cabman's shelter" from Ilkley Station. It is in need of a little TLC, especially on the corner post.

Not immediately obvious, but these shelters are actually on wheels, and with a bit of effort and care can be moved around.

The carriage featured here is LSWR 17, built as an Open First in 1885 and later converted to a Royal Saloon. The replica interior styled to match the Queen Victoria saloon in the NRM. External livery is a fetching deep brown with salmon pink upper panels.

In between their normal services, E&BAR ran a number of extras, using vintage rolling stock from "Stately Trains" and the "Autocar" NER 3170, for the benefit of CRC attendees.
