Amerton Railway - "Staffordshire Engines" Steam Gala 29 & 30 June

The Amerton Railway Steam Gala on 29th& 30th June will have a “Staffordshire Engines” theme, resident Staffordshire built engines “Isabel” (Bagnall 1491/1897), “Diana” (Kerr Stuart 1158/1917) and “Lorna Doone” (Kerr Stuart 4250/1922) will be joined by visiting engines “Peter Pan” (Kerr Stuart 4256/1922) and “Rishra” (Baguley 2007/1921). Both “Peter Pan” and “Lorna Doone” will be in Devon County Council livery reflecting the period in which they both worked for the Council - with lineside access available interesting photographic opportunities are sure to abound! The usual intensive service of passenger and goods trains will be run, the 2018 Gala seeing some 80+ train movements over the two days.

Good photos of these interesting little locomotives and what was also noticeable that there was not one hi-vis jacket in sight.
