A well attended day plus the added attraction of the usual Sheep on the line. Heres some photos hope you like them!
Glad you enjoyed the day BowlerL33. Good set of photos.

The use of the DMU as coaching stock is partly due to the fire damage to the LMS Open 3rd last October. It also a reason for not running steam to Duffield this year.

Best wishes,
