    WSR 2018

    Popping up to the WSR tomorrow as (and hopefully this is still the plan) the Cl.33 is covering the DMU turn. Haven't had Foxcote Manor on its...

    [Jun 4, 2017] Isle of wight steam railway May gala (Ryde Isle of Wight)

    I can't make the gala (GWR gala, World Rallycross and Manor + Cl.14 at the KESR are too tempting for that bank holiday weekend) but Newington's...

    [Oct 20, 2017] CVR25 Anniversary Gala (Churnet Valley Railway)

    I think that's my first visit to the CVR sorted. Massive fan of Manors up any gradient, so this should be exceptional.

    WSR Spring Steam Gala - Thu 27 to Sun 30 April 2017
