| A cloudy Saturday at the Ribble Steam Railway second annual Steam Gala.
An interesting display of three industrial engines in steam which include 0-4-0 Tank "John Howe", 0-4-0 Saddle Tank "Agecroft No.2" and 0-4-0 Sentinal 8024 "Gasbag" which made for an interesting addition to the normal traction running. Enjoyable dayout, a look around their museum (see earlier collections) and something unusual to see running. |
