    Interesting line up of geriatric paraffin cans, just need a touch of sunshine to make it another great weekend on the ELR.

    I think they rather blew it when they held the all Deltic weekend a bit back, I agree it would have been good to have one (or two - see picture below!). P1050152.JPG

    Interestingly, whilst the ELR diesel group (and timetable) are advertising the event as 8/9/10 July, the ELR web site is saying 15/16/17 July. I guess the former is correct but I would expect he ELR to have corrected this if it's been wrong for a while. Unless it has been moved back a week at short notice?

    Weather doesn't appear to have read the script, Met Office saying some rain on all 3 days, lot for Saturday, looks like the riding day this year.

    Had a nice couple of hours at Irwell Vale this afternoon after shopping.
    The rain held off and the sun put in a brief appearance.
    56006 was on the 'Peak's roster for some reason. For anyone going over the weekend, Saturday's forecast is dire! Sunday, a little better with sun and showers.
    A heads up for anyone making for Irwell Vale on Sunday, there are roadworks and I saw a sign saying the road would be closed from 0800 to 1600. Not sure if there is another way in, so beware.

    There are, just not by road, so I'd recommend wellies or a good set of boots and walking in, either from Ewood Bridge, Helmshore or Stubbins

    A few of my shots from Friday, as said "full" dull for the morning, lucky if you got the sun in the afternoon. A variety of the day's loco's. P1010165.JPG P1010167.JPG P1010169.JPG P1010172.JPG P1010175.JPG P1010177.JPG P1010187.JPG P1010190.JPG

    A bit late for the thanks to all who made this weekend what I regard as the premier diesel event of the year, look forward to the Autumn event.
    A selection of shots from Sunday, rain effectively stopped play for me late in the afternoon, I have included the Hydraulics in a down pour! P1010198.JPG P1010202.JPG P1010206.JPG P1010207.JPG P1010210.JPG P1010212.JPG P1010220.JPG P1010221.JPG
