One more to go this season. Tangmere on 28th August.
Don't miss it. Next year appears very doubtful. <BJ>

Saw Tangmere at Temple Meads yesterday looking lovely.

Something else was in steam at the back of the sheds opposite the Kingsland Road stands but was tucked in right at the back and couldn't see...

47 'Great Western' was also in residence...

Chippy - I like the arrival shot at Bath.

Richard - could it be DoG being prepared for the run to Wales tomorrow?

Tangmere had an additional coach today to cope with the popularity of the WCE. The sound from the loco would have been very nice on the steep gradient to Evershot tunnel. <BJ>
