Scarborough North Bay Railway

Loco 1931 Neptune passes 1932 Triton at Beach Station, 3 August 2006.

Scarborough North Bay Railway is a miniature railway in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. It was built in 1931, to the gauge of 20" (508mm), and runs for approximately 2/3 mile (1km) between Peasholm Park and Scalby Mills in the North Bay area of the town.

It has two locomotives, which appear as 4-6-2 "Pacific" steam locos in outline, though they are actually diesel powered. They were built by Hudswell Clarke and are named and numbered as follows:

• 1931 Neptune
• 1932 Triton

The numbers reflect the years they were built.

The locomotives have recently (December 2006) been supplemented by

• 1932 Robin Hood
• 1933 Poseidon

These two locomotives were also built by Hudswell Clarke of Leeds and this is the first time the four locomotives have been united together. Robin Hood is a 4-6-4T whilst Poseidon is a 4-6-2 Pacific like Neptune and Triton.
