Can't make this one unfortunately. Seems to be a good show too. When will the next gala be? do you have one or two per year?
All the best anyway and hope you have a great Gala.
Cheers
Phil

Agree Richard, I think Holy Bank No.3 looks stunning and a credit to thoose involved in bringing this project to life especially thanks to the owner for allowing us to make the tranformation from Darfield No.1 for while.

Phil, thanks for the comments and wishes it is appreciated. The next Gala at Chasewater is the industrial themed weekend on Sept 8th/9th. Hope you can make it.

Regards

Thanks Phil, we are very proud of what has been achieved. Yes No.3 put on a great show for the photo charter yesterday and looked great on the coal train. Looking forward to the gala next week.

Kind Regards
