Well, its all over now. Probably one of Beamish's biggest ever events, certainly the biggest transport themed one and it seems to have been a resounding success. The weather was superb and held until Sunday afternoon when light rain set in. Operationally things went very well with only a couple of delays caused by the need for emergency services to attend - things which can (and do!) happen on any day of the year. Here is a last selection of photos from me of the event, but I will add a selection taken by Dave Hewitt in the next post.
Below: 'How to dismantle a narrow gauge railway' (title borrowed and adjusted from the U2 album!) - the steps involved in clearing the 2 foot gauge line up, within an hour! The track was then stacked onto flat wagons and rolled into the shed - the trainset is back in its box. Until next time...!!!
