I was expecting a quiet afternoon, having heard that a brace of Derek’s were hors de combat.  However, we ended up with nine members plus our junior attending.  It was a busy afternoon on the rails, although later on armchairs and chat seemed more important.

Men at work?

Simon’s train of reefers, headed by Kato F3 units.

European trains from Richard….

And Sean….

Sean and Lucas’ Trans-Pennine rake….

And Brian’s steam excursion….

Long trains pass through Saggers Sidings.

And at the end of the afternoon, six of us visited the local curry house for the usual excellent feed.  Even better, they opened up half-an-hour early, so we could eat and be out before their quiz night started.  That’s service for you!

Thank you Brian for the moving pictures….
