A few quick photos from yesterday's Open Day at Diamond Engineering. A very successful day with LOTS of new members joining the B17 Steam Locomotive Trust and considerable cash in the donation tin in memory of our late Chairman, Brian Hall....

silversteellady liked torgormaig's post in the thread Swanage Railway General Discussion.
I have another photograph which provides an interesting comparison to that 1964 shot taken at Corfe Castle. Here is a very similar angle of 30053, this time taken at Harmans Cross, with 31806 approaching with a two coach driver experience...
