Kirkstall Festival

As usual, we operated today to take passengers to and from Kirkstall Festival. This is usually our busiest day of the year, and today did not disapoint, with many fully loaded trains. Atlas and Little Ruston were used on the 'Festival Flyer', both running well all day.

The Festival Flyer, in full flight up to the Abbey to pick up a full load of passengers.
The Baguley has been inspected to see what was wrong with it's engine (after it stopped working when it derailed on Thursday) Turns out whatever it was has sorted itself out, and the engine started straight away.

A preserved Dakota DC-3 did a flypast over the festival, and our railway. This photo was taken from just outside our shed. The plane seemed a lot lower in real life!

Atlas, complete with Festival Flyer headboard, being admired by a young passenger.

And at the other end of the train, Little Ruston.
Business as usual tomorrow, and the last Sunday I'll be at the railway before I move down south. :-(
