Charnwood Forest Garden Railway Spring Steam Gala

[Red Rock]

A few times a year the CFR team makes a special effort to put on a 'mini' steam gala. This includes visiting engines and more than we would run on a normal Live Steam Sunday. Though the weather didn't want us to play trains we still managed to put on one good show. We also were very fortunate that we could get the Pine Tree Junction Steam fleet to come and be our visiting engines.

Who are Pine Tree junction I hear you ask, probably the worlds most popular online Garden Railway with there 62 videos on YouTube reaching more than 3,500,000 views in two years. Ok this might be because of all there Thomas videos but it might get some much needed fresh blood into the hobby!

Back to the gala, the line up stood with....:-
Roundhouse
- Sandy River
- Leek and Manifold
- Fowler
- Jack
- Katie
- Silver Lady X2
- Pooter
- Billy
Regner
- Willi X2
- Chaloner

We didn't have our whole fleet of Roundhouse engine there this year nor any Accucraft. Here's some photos from Saturday.





























If any is interested in visiting us with a Live Steam engine durring one of our Steam events OR just a normal Steam Sunday please contact me. We are located at Rothley station on the Great Central Railway, Leicestershire.
