    Sorry I didn't take much note and assumed it was 238 with 1450 visiting.

    A big thank you to everyone at Epping Ongar Railway for a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon out for myself and my son :) An excellent selection of locos and our first run in an auto-coach.

    Special thanks to the very patient and friendly staff in the signal boxes who indulged my son's passion for pulling levers, and also to our friend Paul for an invite on to the footplate of 6430 which he was working on.

    It was our first time to EOR, but we'll definitely be back again...

    To all that attended, we hope you enjoyed the show! I had a day firing on Dinmore Manor on Friday, 1450 on Saturday afternoon and 4141 on Sunday. All engines ran faultlessly, and were a credit to their home lines. Thanks again to Llangollen, Severn Valley/Mike Little and Dinmore Manor Locomotive Ltd for their engines.

    If you missed this weekend, 7820 and 6430 are running next weekend at our 40's weekend.
