After a long bus journey to get there our first adventure was a short trip on a steam hauled train. With this loco.
After this we were delighted to see Bittern, the star of the day.
We had to be shooed out of the way so it could come past us. I thoroughly enjoyed being 18 inches from a moving steam train.
Bittern was followed by Earl Mount Edgcumbe.
They then coupled together and ran as a pair.
Gracie wanted to see the engineering shed, so we wandered around it and then found ourselves in the viewing area as the afore mentioned locos did a few runs past.
There were loads of people watching as the locos disappeared into the cloud of steam they produced.
Then we made our own spot the difference photos.
Can you see the changes I made in the next two photographs?
To round off our trip spectacularly they decided to turn Bittern on the turntable
The following pictures tried to capture this whilst avoiding a buffer in the tummy!
A fantastic event :-).
