Great pics Colin, thanks for sharing them. I'm sorry I couldn't get down, that said, Tanfield gala was great today, though a bit closer to home and not miniature. At least it was industrial though...

Hope the second day is just as good and I look forward to seeing more pics from others in due course.

Cheers
Anthony

Definitely a fast post, there!!

Absolutely superb weekend, really enjoyed it. Listening to those Atlantic's really pound it up the hill was a sound for sore ears!! I think Simon (today) and Charlie (yesterday) on Joan gave Craig a run for his money regarding smoke emissions!! :lol (pics to come).

The quad-header has its moments - Austin's photo-taking was interesting, as was Steve Ashton's sanding! Then PVZ emptied Synolda's boiler over us... ...

Full report and pics to come shortly.

Cheers, all.

No, true, but then again, do we blame the fireman at all??? :P

A real case of "for whom the Belle tolls"... ... :ninja

thanks to Stuart and the friends of KLR for organising and running the gala - and thank you to everyone who let me near your locomotives :)

Your train is cancelled due to the lack of the tea can on the footplate.

This is what happens when teamwork occurs!

When hes following the drivers (and his bosses) instructions, i dont think so :P and plus it happened to someone else who had no fireman, and the driver in question when he had no fireman.

Nah callum, it was from the chimney

:( :( :( :(

Not Happy. I`m sure there was a certain member who was trying to call me to gloat on Sat night whilst I was in the restaurant!

Seriously, looked like great fun & I hope it can be repeated at some point PLEASE!!!

Now, time for Project Management Training. That might come in handy......

PS - Great video Nick!
