Ribble steam centre Feb 18th and 19th Steam gala.

There having an interesting looking gala in Feb.
see Steam Gala 18th & 19th February

inc Furness Railway No. 20

Is anyone going to go?

 

More to the point - will there be a Night Photography session available around the shed ?

 

Could be tempted to drive down the road. Last year event wasn't bad, and is decent value for money.

 

I'll almost certainly turn out as it's only a short journey for me, and, as lil Bear says, it is good value for money, and they are all extremely friendly. Never seen F R 20 running so that will be a bonus.

I wonder if it will still be on site when Tornado's there in May? The oldest and youngest side by side would be a good photo opportunity

 

It is possible that John Howe, D9539 & the 05 Diesel will be available at the Gala.

Watch our website Welcome to the Ribble Steam Railway for further updates & timetables.

Will check whether FR20 & Tornado are at Preston on the same dates.

 

Provisional timetable now on website, seems good value at £6 per head.

 

Thanks for the info, it's even better value at £4 for us owd fogeys -I will definately be putting in an appearance.

Great news that Andrew Barclay No 6 will be probably be running - even if it is in undercoat

 

Furness Railway No 20 arrived safely at Ribble Steam Railway at c 16.00hrs today 8th Feb

 

Unfortunately, Ab No6, 2261, will not be available at the Gala. Should be ok to enter traffic in May 2012.

FR20 is covering the April steamings

 

Thanks for the updates 3155 - much appreciated. A pity about the No 6, but it justifies another visit in a couple of months time, and a few more opportunities to view F. R. 20 in the meantime

 

Will the workshops be open? I am particularly thinking of the two track one east of the station.

TIA

If any Nat Pres readers wish to view the Ribble Rail Shed (which is normally off limits), please Pm me & I will sort a guided tour.

Offer only open on the Saturday, as I am driving Walkden on the Sunday

 

popped along for a couple of hours with a client from work - he really enjoyed his first visit and I enjoyed myself as well

nice morning out
