That's a lot of locos. Very, very impressive. Looks like you had a fantastic time.

It has been a great day. The final train ran about 8 o'clock. After the last guests departed, the rain stopped, the sun tried to get out and Westmorland began to work well. There's still a lot of work to do on her, but a cab back is on its way! She is the blue Lady Anne at the front of the shed in one of the pics. Thats my arm and leg making a cameo in the same photo! Also, the Edrig in the background in the 2nd to last picture is the first coal-fired loco to visit the line.

What an awesome lineup! 8) Now you should have done what we did at the last MVR gala, and run them all in a cavalcade :P

Cheers Matt. Bit of a step up from YDG the Mamod! I was petrified of running her dry as there is no water level gauge of any sort like I am used to!

As for the railcar, it might not get so muck flak if its owner stopped leaving it running on the track
