    We flexed our members card and got two rover tickets for the L&Y day, a few shots gathered including the Class56 on the diesel diagram, promoted to an honorary L&Y loco for the day. The exhaust from this machine makes it almost convincing! P1090050.JPG P1090057.JPG P1090060.JPG P1090063.JPG P1090051.JPG P1090067.JPG
