Hello,
After seeing the pre-Ravenglass event pics, thought I'd show you some of my pre FfR & WHR(P) Event pics that have taken, and shall take!

Nice stuff, the second shot in particular is just stunning! 8) I remember going to see Jerry M myself at Hollycombe last year, and she is a beautiful engine. Just a shame I'm too far away to come to this event, but I hope it all goes well and good luck with getting some more pics!

After school today I went accross to the WHR (P) and help assemble the passenger train & helped with various tasks. Also had the pleasure of driving a 7 1/4" quarry Hunslet, before having an indepth conversation with a nice man who owns a couple of 5in locos, one is a model of Charles which sounds like a truly stunning engine to drive, not just to look at, it was fascinating to feel how much wear had been made on the wheels on a loco what only began service in 2001, certainly a working loco!

I'm volunteering on our stand at the model show this weekend so i shall post pics of the 16mm steam layout, and other bits.

I'm not sure 100 is considered new still, its been in traffic for over a year and this topic is about the event at the begining of May, not the end (ok ok i know same visiting engine etc :lol: )
