Distance

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.

A large replica of the Reliant steam paddle tug that used to be on display at the National Maritime Museum but has been scrapped. The Dunston Coal Staiths are in the background with the Tyneside Heritage exhibition on the left. This site has since been built on and the positions are best guesses.
