This weekend I worked the Sunday of the SDR Rales and Ales event, which by all accounts has been as busy as last year, so thank you to all who attended and imbibed!

There was a good variety of motive power running, with 2 panniers, the Collett goods, the 20 and the bubble car all running with lots of movement i and out o the station. Weather has been a bit changeable but this didn't stop people on the Saturday and more indoor space was available than in past years. Today has been very wet, so if you visited I hope you managed to stay dry and the beer supply held out!

6430, on its last weekend with us before it goes home, pulling the auto trailer for the steam shuttle service.

Each time the class 20 and the Collett came in they were either backwards or I had to help visitors so I missed both. It was good to catch up with a few people in the short gaps between jobs, including Highlandman of here.
