    Tomorrow sees the eve of the gala with lots of activity, stock being shunted and loco being prepared. The 'One Legged Shunter' station bar will be open in the evening if anyone wants to pop along for a preview, a pint and a natter.

    There is limited parking at Foxfield, but if you are there around 9 you should be ok.

    Fabulous event as ever. Trains fairly full, and indeed the NSR set was practically bursting. For such a small railway the Foxfield really packs a punch - is there any experience on a preserved railway to match a train on the Foxfield bank?

    Visited yesterday and had a great time. The Knotty Coaches were (very) well patronised - more than a couple of people suggested building some more !
    Brought a visitor, my 96 yr old father as we were on our way back to NWales from the Hunslet staff reunion and gala at the Middleton Railway.
