    Spectacular stuff from Judy in the videos, thanks! [ATTACH] I’ve added my shot of auto tank and Port Talbot tank entering Bewdley on Thursday afternoon. It was mentioned in my early post but didn’t upload.

    My own efforts from the weekend, many thanks as usual to all the staff and volunteers that make these events possible! No surprise that both trains ran by the visitors seemed to be most popular, and Sunday morning's unique 'Duke & Judy'...
