MHR Spring Steam Gala 2015: 13th - 15th February

Loco rooster? You have a cockerel in your MPD?

 

Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

 

Hello please can I use some of your photos of Wadebridge on our website and newsletter.

Kind regards

It went very well, the railway is pleased with the result. Thanks to everyone who braved it. You never know, we might do it again!

 

Glad you enjoyed the ales

 

A few photos from my weekend at the gala.

It was a shame that the best of the weather co-incided with my stint behind the Real Ale Bar. Most of my favourite shots ended up being those taken last thing Sunday night in the yard at Ropley

The rest of my pictures that are probably worthy of posting are at:

It's good to see 21B's response that the railway was pleased with the results of the gala.
I must say it didn't feel as busy as some previous galas (from the RAT anyway), yet the Ropley carpark looked very full on Saturday & Sunday.
Nellie's (brake) failure on Satuday afternoon was a shame, but it did mean that we got the last run on Saturday behind Wadebridge, which I must say sounded far better than she did last year.

 

That's great news. It was very busy on Friday as the trains were well loaded especially when the nasty weather arrived.
Talking of Galas will the railway be operating to a Gala timetable on the 2nd October for the 150th Anniversary?

 

Of course -PM me and I can send files via Dropbox or e-mail

 

Nice Pics Tim, nice to see to see you Sunday morning & your partner in crime (who's name completely escapes me, it was a long day....... Matt?...) I'm still going through mine...... when I'm happy, I'll post a link.....

 

Was a great gala, wasnt expecting much compared to last year but had a brilliant time. This has to be the best photo of mine taken on Saturday its amazing how much the weather changed during the day.
