My earliest-ever KWVR photo is of 0-4-0 "Lion" posed with 4F 43924 at Keighley station on the 20th September 1981. "Lion" was visiting the KWVR, having been put back in steam for the Rainhill L & M celebration event, and it ran some early evening specials on the Worth Valley. I can't remember now how I found out about them, because I had no "gen" sources at all at the time.

No. 31 "Hamburg" is seen about to couple up to its train at Oxenhope on the 3rd January 1982. The loco looks like it was about to be repainted. It had obviously been drafted into service to run the Winter shuttles, which only ran between Oxenhope and Haworth at the time, using just a couple of coaches. Hamburg would have been fine for this, or maybe the railway had nothing else suitable at the time.

No. 31 "Hamburg" gets ready to leave Oxenhope for Haworth with a KWVR Winter Service on the 3rd January 1982. At the time these services only ran between the two stations, presumably because that was all the traffic would bear. A bit different to nowadays when the services run full-line in winter, and are invariably operated by an ex-BR loco.

75078 stands in Haworth Yard on the 17th October 1982. Pity about the crane jib but this was the only shot I could find of 75078 facing forwards in the yard.
