    Thanks for the list, I take it the actual loco's on the day will be 'drawn from' that list.
    Although there doesn't appear to be anything new or visiting it's an impressive line up. A quick trawl through the images made in the last 5 years we have going, I have photographed 29 different loco's, all in steam, more if you include the museum statics.
    Look forward to some interesting double headers/combinations. Probably the best bit is that there is steam coming at you in both directions all day, not a chance of standing around and getting bored.
    See you there, again! :D

    Great day out as usual, stayed dull and muggy all, but at least it didn't rain. Plenty of variety as usual, we went about 4.30 as the poor light did a dive for even lower. Selection from Saturday:

    For those who missed this - it wasn't a choice from the listed 14 but it WAS the actual runners on the day. A regular date in my calendar and on this date over 200 images taken between 10:00 and 16:00 without rushing around; sample images attached

    No one ever said that it would be a choice from the listed 14, the website always gave the 14 as those locos operating that weekend. In addition, the 18" gauge diesel was giving cab rides on the SG/18" dual gauge track.
