    There was a private photo charter out yesterday with MNR No.4 Caledonia, 2 plank open M78, recently restored MNR brake compo No.16 and Foxdale brake F39. Seen below at Castletown on the newly reinstated cattle dock siding (photo courtesy IoMSRSA).

    Thanks for posting that, Ray !

    I can't get over for the Transport Festival, I was hoping that I could squeeze a trip in, but no such luck.
    Looking forward to seeing F38 join that line up in due course.

    Alas, financial constraints prevent me from attending the Festival this year :( Hopefully I might go at the end of the season when flights/hotels might be a bit cheaper. I'm still anxious to catch Cale before she goes out of ticket!

    Details for the Manx End-of-Season Weekend have now been announced--see flier below. But does anybody know about advance ticket booking? The office IM Railways website says that pre-booking would be open from 25th September for those events that require it, but I can't actually find a link to any booking system...? o_O

    Apparently Caledonia will be working the 10.00 and 14.00 trains from Port Erin on Sunday, returning from Douglas at 11.50 and 15.50. No word as to whether she will be running on Saturday, however, nor what other locomotives will be running over the weekend.
