This is a film made by Ken Clough as a member of the York section of the supporters of the North York Moors Railway. It is one of many annual summaries featuring events relating to the NYMR, showing restoration work and fund raising. Title – N & KC Production 1974 Title – NYMR News The first year is overviewed as a steam engine (2392) pulls a train along the line on a frosty day.  At Leversham station a group of volunteers are working on the track, levelling and packing.  Looking over Pickering station, the narrator explains that the station has been the object of dispute between the NYMR Trust and Pickering Urban District Council, that came to a head at a Public enquiry, with the NYMR being described by one councillor as “the plaything for the affluent society”, but that the station was saved from becoming a supermarket car park.  Waste paper, collected to raise funds, is loaded onto a lorry at the paper store in Poppleton, some filmed speeded up.  The resulting cheque from C. Plumbs & Sons of £250 is shown.  The York group have contributed £900 towards the purchase of a 264 tank engine, which is standing at Pickering station prior to going to Grossmont shed for restoration. Some newspaper cuttings from WW2, advertising a savings programme, are shown. Then a gang of volunteers are at work laying a new section of track between High Mill and New Bridge.  It is explained that in 1965 the rails were lifted but the sleepers and chairs remained in place.  A rail is being positioned under the direction of Frank Carrington.  When the rails are in position a fishplate is shown being fitted and spring keys being hammered in. The film switches to show the K1 which had recently arrived.  It is shown pulling a train out of Grossmont station, filming the journey to Goathland from on board. Title – The End
