| Sunday 30/03/08 - I arrived late at Burrs country park after my trip the day before to the NYMR and also forgetting about the clocks going forward.
Four engines in steam. 71000 "Duke of Gloucester" and 4936 "Kinlet Hall" possibly on its last outing on the ELR for a while on the passenger services and Black 5- 45407 & BR STD 4 - 76079 both working a goods train with 18 vehiciles on the spare path, over the full length of the line. A nice afternoon out after the wet weather the day earlier. |
