| Here's the first few gala pictures. I've plenty more to add, but I've got to nip off to Manchester now, so there's no time to do it. Check back in a day or two for the rest.
It was an excellent event, with a real variety of locos, from old friends to the incredibly rare. The weather was kind, the staff friendly and the beer sublime.... Well done to all concerned. |
