    Spent Saturday riding the trains some good runs with the J15 and the class 31 good value at £10 for a day rover.

    I visited on the Sunday and the interesting timetable and enthusiastic driving made it a very enjoyable event. The J15 looked lovely but the stars of the show were Karel and 7151. I only managed a short ride on the 31 so I'll to go back when it's running again. Well done to everyone at the AVR.
