Today saw another lovely day at the track. Chris started running with his LNER O4 at about 10:45am and before twelve noon, our official opening time, we had already had about 24 passengers. The nice weather certainly brought them out early and steadily until 4 o’clock when we managed to force the entrance gates closed.
During the day we had Joe with his lovely J4 loco, the newest to his fleet. Being closely followed by Adam driving the debut appearance, into traffic, of Geoff Birch’s Sweet Pea Loco, after a few laps to get used to loco he was then soon commandeered into carrying passengers.
We then again saw Tim with his Simplex (better known as the Timplex) taking his turn at conveying our many passengers.
While all this was going on we had a visit from two guys, who seemed to be quite professional, armed with video cameras tripods and all sorts of photographic wizardry. They proceeded to take shots and films from every conceivable position including actually inside our signal box, being given strict instructions not to pull any levers or push any buttons while the trains were running.
