Seventy years after the birth of the Sand Hutton Railway, Synolda stands at Dalegarth with a Narrow Gauge Railway Society special train for Ravenglass on 2nd May 1982.

The outward journey had been remarkable, which accounts for the satisfied smiles, but the return trip was exhilarating and proved that, far from being an elderly lady, Synolda was capable of an amazing turn of speed with a well-filled three-coach train.

One person from the village saw Synolda in 1998.
Synolda was just a static museum display at the  Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in 1998.

Ernest Rowland 'Roy' Charlesworth with Synolda in 1998.
