RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted April 4, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 4, 2011 I would normally be there on the Leeds Transport Historical Society stand but unfortunately SWMBO is dragging me off to the med at that time. However the LTHS stall will have the latest society publications and a display about progress on the Horse Tram 107 that is going to be finished off there.

AMJ Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Train rides will be using the Balm Road branch for this event just like we did for the Hudswell Clarke gala this weekend but with one train. Make the most of it as this will be one of the three weekends that we operate this stretch of our railway for passenger trains. H-C gala, Model rail show and the September gala. I'll be deffinately there on Sunday, busy driving for a wedding some of Saturday! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-farms Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Excellent event, really enjoyed my time there on Sunday. There was some fantastic layouts but the stand out one for me was the American Civil War Line complete with General (sadly no Buster Keaton on the con rod). A lovely little train ride down the Balm Road Branch and top it all off had a fantastic experience driving Matthew Murray (first time I ever drove a steam engine) can't wait for next years already.
