More of Vixen with the long IoMSR express. Got to say, I was impressed with the haulage capacity against Hampton Loade's steep gradients - then I remembered something key: although heritage chassis, it was fitted with all modern cylinders etc

Busy Yard shot...!

All three lines engaged - Vale of Rheidol, Isle of Man and Quarry Hunslet action simultaneously. These are my top three narrow gauge favourites, so to see this occurance was bliss indeed!

Final Wrap -- at about 4pm, we closed up as heavy rain came in to stop play.

Although a damp day, it'd been an enjoyable and easier than last time drive out, and I managed to get 'Vixen' a good running in after so long in winter storage
