My second visit to the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, and the first with a camera! Following my first visit to the line in 2008, I have been very keen to return, and finally 7 years later I have! Over the Bank Holiday Weekend the R&ER was celebrating it's 100th Anniversary of being a 15" Gauge Railway, having regauged in 1915. Guest locomotives appeared alongside the home fleet. In service was:
R&ER No.3 "River Irt"
R&ER No.9 "River Mite"
R&ER No.10 "Northern Rock"
R&ER ICL 8 "Lady Wakefield"
