Santa Specials
Saturday 1st December saw the first run of our Santa Specials, this year using a loco hauled coach. Andy G was on hand and sent these pictures of the historic event as a steam loco and coach departed for the run down the line. Thanks to everyone who has made this possible.
Here we see the loco coupled up to the coach and ready to come out of the yard
Once loaded with our guests the train makes a smooth start away from the platform with the first service.
The train heads off along the main line towards Weston.
Thanks to Andy for the pictures.
Colin took some video of the trains.
What a way to head towards the end of 2018, we are looking forward to 2019 and the next steps on the restoration of our railway. Fancy joining in?
