Just back from Statfold Barn Railway's "Orenstein and Koppel" event - and this time, the weather couldn't have been better, after the Siberian conditions for the March trip. "Every silver lining has a cloud", of course - the sun was invariably in the "wrong" place - i.e. directly above and behind trains coming up the bank. But never mind, it was an excellent day, with no less than 5 steam locos in action: -
Statfold, the "new" Hunslet 3903/2005- Trangkil, the last "old" Hunslet 3902/1971
- Harrogate - the fine 0-6-0ST Peckett 2050/1944
- O&K 614/1900, newly-restored as Pakis Baru No 1
- and visitor O&K "Montalban" 6641/1913 from the West Lancs
not forgetting the MR "Charley" 9976/1954 on the garden railway. A Rail Diaries page will of course appear in a day or two - when I've had a chance to work through the 200-odd digital images and the 15 minutes of video...
