    Saturday at the ELR Steam gala saw the first for some time (not sure how long) of 3 steam locos at Rawtenstall on passenger services
    11456 arrives at the very underused bay platform at Rawtenstall

    92134 arrived with 47298 on the rear, while 11456 was in the bay platform with a local shuttle service, which 47298 joined to form a T'n'T service back to Bury

    elsewhere earlier in the day, Furness Railway No.20 was withdrawn for the day and services covered by Pug 11243
    Both LYR tank engines 11243 & 11456 double headed departure from Bury to Rawtenstall

    92134 puts on a very smoky show at Bury

    i stayed for the double header of 34092 & 92134, but sadly due to the low drifting smoke from 34092 City of Wells (no volcano here!!!) 92134 was obliterated by it
