Cheers John

Many thanks John, I will be there tomorrow, all the best.

Newly arrived austerity 0-6-0 "Sapper" was the incentive for me to make a visit to this event. Also running full length of the line were Std Tank 80080 & Type twenty diesel 20087
Bury Bolton Street station had push pull trains to Baron street shed gates pulled by a variety of shunters and Peckett 1370 "May"
Shunters included MSC4002 & Class 08 shunter - 08479 which did a trip to Ramsbottom as a last trip of the day plus shunters - 08700, D3232, D2062 & D2656
Only letdown was that MSC32 Gothenberg disgraced itself by failing - probadly being painted blue didnt help ;0
Something different and another good day out.
John
