    Very enjoyable day today, which was my first visit to the Dean Forest, well worth the 3+ hours each way drive. Line up was great, shame though that the Beattie Well Tank had such a small turn (a morning goods turn). Video and pictures to follow but for now...

    Did anyone here get to the Flour Mill itself on the open day? I haven't seen any pictures on line and it would be interesting to know how GER 229 is coming along.

    I've finally gotten around to uploading my video from way back in July, sorry it took so long!

    I should also say that I attended 4 days and enjoyed it very much :)
