    Wonderful day yesterday at the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway with Lyd . It was on the 29th September 1935 that the line closed to seventy nine years later to see and hear Lyd on both passenger and freight stock was something special

    Superb. Not having been around that long, it's incredible to me how far those guys have come within my lifetime. Will be amazing when they have their own L & B replicas in service.

    @Duty Druid . Be good to see you and any NP members on the events . They are open to all regardless of photographic media or ability . I can also try to arrange some car shares as well if that helps
