Open Day at the Windy Ridge Railroad in July

Post by bungle80a » Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:05 pm

Yes, I know, its now December but i've had a lot on ok! Making threads on this forum go completely off topic is a time consuming activity!!!

In all seriousness, here is my latest offering on the mighty YouTube of an Open Day held on the Windy Ridge Railroad in Cumbria on one of the nicer days we had this summer. There are a few out of the ordinary visitors along the way!

Enjoy....

About bloomin time Bungle, my vid has been out for months!!!
Having said that, it is an absolute cracker, music suits perfectly and you have managed to get videos of some locos running that I didn't. Great video :thumbleft:
Now, how long to wait for the Fairfield railway opening video?

hopefully have that one done by next weekend. I have already edited the first 90 seconds of it and it has been previewed by the ptlr staff who were quite complementary about it, so all I need now is a spare evening or 2! And as per usual, it is set to music!

Well you can draw your own conclusions from the fact that it was on that day that his Superior failed with the blocked superheater that took an age to fix. So more likely he was about to hit it with a large hammer... :lol:
