29/03/08 and its the first Saturday of a two week LNER Festival
featuring for the first time, a line-up of 3 - A4 Pacifics , 60007 "Sir Nigel Gresley" 60009 "Union of South Africa" 60019 "Bittern" and V2 4771 "Green Arrow." Also running B1 - 61264, K1 - 62005, Q6 63395 and J15 65462. The weather started out with brillient sunshine and by lunchtime it had clouded over and followed by heavy rain an hour later for the rest of the day.
Certainly the best steam festival for me this year and well worth the late drowning

Might be back next weekend also !!!!

Q6 - 63395 waits to leave Goathland station. This engine bought me on the 9-00 service from Pickering but due to size of queues for tickets I had no chance for photos before here.
