| FRIDAY and the first day of a three day event at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway 40th Anniversary Gala.
Eleven engines lined up for this event with trips on the mainline up to Settle junction and Ribblehead over the weekend behind 30777. Plus incoming steam excursions from Manchester. K4 61994 "The Great Marquess" had still to arrive and was replaced with Black 5 45212 for its trips on Friday. The other engines used on the line were the usual suspects of ,90733, 41241, 80002, No85. "Nunlow" & "Sir Berkley" giving guards van rides at Ingrow West. 47279 & 957 were in reserve at Haworth sheds being used later in the gala. Great day out - just a pity 30777 wasnt used on this day SATURDAY - After a wasted journey up the S & C to see 30777 which was failed at Skipton, I made a detour home via Haworth sheds which made up for my disapointment earlier - excellent sight seeing most of the engines in the yard WELL DONE THE STAFF OF K&WVR AFTER ALL THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE GALA !!!! |
