East Lancs Railway Gala-March 14 2009
14th March 2009

Photos from this years event. A little disappointing as the Class 20 couldn't run, and 37418 was still to have repairs completed. It was also a shame not to see 37109. 37901 Mirrlees Pioneer (not so long ago resident at Llangollen) did appear, though.

A glimpse of direct sun for about 30 minutes was all we had. 50015 reasonably lit as it brings up the rear.
