National Garden Festival, Gateshead
Seen from Dunston Coal Staiths. The smoke on the left is from the replica Locomotion on the Stockton Birthplace of Railways exhibition. The positions are approximate.
The impressive 29 storey tower block is Derwent Tower, also known as the Dunston Rocket. This was opened in 1971 and demolished in 2012.

National Garden Festival, Gateshead - steam railway
The positions and direction are a best guess. This whole site has been extensively built over and there are few things left to orientate this. The three pitched roofs are on the Tyneside Heritage exhibition that was near the start of the coal staithes. This section of line was definitely in the area of the festival known as Dunston after crossing over the river Team. This also appears to be the start of the loop as the track is branched here. The locomotive is a narrow gauge engine from the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway and is called Northern Rock. The festival also had a monorail and a tram but locating them on the map is probably beyond me.
