'Fraid its just photography with me. I also like the kids to see things from our history in action.

 

Ribblehead is quite a way off, isn't it? It would be nice to take the family to see these things if there was somewhere closer.

Elsecar is ok but only a little tank engine, got to go a little further to see the really big mainline stem

May be a bit early, but the place to be this year is the National railway museum FROM 3RD - 17TH JULY and see the last six remaining A4 Pacifics( streaks to us oldies) should be some sight.

Hope to go to Ribblehead on Saturday to see 60009 Union Of South Africa, heading The Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express, weather permiiting if anyone is interested you can ride with me, its a fair distance but well worth it
