How fickle are you? Will you be back in a year moaning that the WSR is no longer doing galas. I remember when galas were everything a home railway had to offer and some different workings. Visiting engines have spoiled enthusiasts - Tanfield ran...

WSR Galas hit the ground running way back in March 1996 with the S&D 30 event and haven't missed a beat since. Releasing the pigeons at Washford was a nice touch at that event. Were they carried aboard the GWR Siphon? Can't remember now.

green five liked Romsey's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
