    Richarde Newton's charter on friday was probably the only one I've been on where I went primarily for the stock rather than the loco. The ELR have done a great job on restoring the tank wagons, well worth the 4 am start from home and an 'interesting' journey up the M6.
    A selection of shots with snow and after it had all disappeared in the afternoon rounded off with the traditional Burrs sunset

    Lovely photos there John, the barrier wagons are very prototypical.

    Thanks Matt, Richard normally likes to get things as realistic as possible. A tiring couple of days, at Keighley on Saturday but a lot to show for it.

    We rarely get to know who’s on the footplate so thank you for providing a great day. I do mainline support crew so I can appreciate the hard work you put in.
