    Excellent Summer gala this year, well organised, well thought out coach rakes and combinations, and as always a warm welcome on the railway. Looking forward to the October Deltic fest already! As said above the star attraction was 50 044 Exeter looking superb in original BR blue:

    Lovely shot, Duncan. The lad and I enjoyed a great day out yesterday, the only disappointment being the non-appearance of the LoadHaul 50, which we understand suffered a traction motor failure on the Saturday beerex. Superb variety of traction, intensive timetable, friendly staff and customers. We were told Saturday was busier than the Sunday, which was remarkably quiet until the afternoon.
