Achilles Report No40: RPMR Steam Day...

Hi everyone. Today was one of the increasingly popular 'Steam Days' at RPMR. The Public Running requires all members to be on duty three times a year and, when myself & Emma are on, we often try to run steam. Today the stalwart team of "Achilles" and "Diane" the club Sweet Pea were aided by a third engine: Mike's mighty 5" gauge Midland 7F 2-8-0. The three steamer operation allowed three trains: slightly shorter than usual: to be operated and over 200 passengers were carried over the 3-hour running period. A few pictures...

The last RPMR Sunday running for the public is next Sunday: September 29th. After 4pm next Sunday the railway will be closed to the public until Easter 2014, excluding the special Halloween and New Years Day runs. Thanks for reading guys...
