ELR DMU Day 17/3 & EVR Diesel event 18/3

My thirst for some Diesel nostalgia took me to 2 railways this weekend

ELR DMU Day. 3 units on display, 101/108 & the 121/2 hybrid. Excellent day out & for me the star was the 108 (in multi livery) it rattled & rumbled just how i remember & its a unit that i dont believe gets regular use? correct me if im wrong. The 121/2 is a strange beast & having not travelled on a trailer car before a silent 'daisy' is an experience! Anyway for £13 it represents great value! thumbs up again ELR!

Ecclesbourne Valley Diesel Event. 2 locos out, 33035 & the Class 20 'D8001' Again an enjoyable experience, They used a 3-car DMU set as coaching stock (which sits funny IMO) but hey ho, plenty of thrash from both locos & also they alternated the 2 locos to push the 108 car up to Ravenstor & back. A well attended day plus the added attraction of the usual Sheep on the line. Heres some photos hope you like them!
