Another very wet day welcomed all that were heading to Whissendine for Boiler testing. The road to the track site was a quagmire and has been for weeks. Lucky nobody got stuck.
Just when it will dry up god only knows.
A very special steam up for Scott Gregg as his brand new loco, built by him was going to have it's first run around the track.
It is a Gert, modified and now based on a loco from the Tanfield railway. Fantastic work Scott.
The sun came out in the afternoon so all was good for everyone to have a run, although a bit later than was planned.
Boiler testing out of the way and off we went.
