Thanks,

Sorry of the delay, but I have finally got round to posting this. As previously stated the gala photos are going to be split up into several sections to make my life easier. To begin with here are the photos from the parade loop. This is where all the engines do a loop light engine, allowing some good photos. Sorry about the first couple of photos, the camera was new and I was not used to the delay in pressing the button. (Its much quicker than my old camera).
All the engines were in steam.
Here are the photos:


Ivor on the down line. (Near Kings Tunnel)


Jason on the down line.


Pioneer on the down line.


Medea on the down line.


Hartfield on the down line.


Thor going round the back of Kingsmere.


Athelstan going around the back of Kingsmere.


One of the visiting engines. (Sorry I can't remember the name). It actually won best prepared engine award, were going to have to try harder next year.


Perseus also going around the back of Kingsmere.


Ivor going around the back of Kingsmere.

Sorry about the quality. To get imageshack to upload the images I needed to compress them, and I seem to have compressed them too much. I will play around for the next time. Hopefully I will post the next set of photos for the gala tomorrow, as I have the afternoon off.
Please comment, I have had seven thousand views, but not one comment, so please be the first.
Thanks,
Lucas,

Here is the next lot of pictures. There is a few more than last time. Engines in steam that I can remember are: Tinkerbell, Ivor, Talos, Bob (Visiting), Douval (Visiting), Rita B (Visiting). And a Horton class loco (Visiting). There may be others but I can't remember them.
The pictures:


Talos and Ivor passing east signal box.


Talos and Ivor also passing east signal box.

Douval passing east signal box.


Douval going over the diamond crossover.


Douval sat outside of the carriage shed.

The Horton class sat in platform one. (Sorry can't remember the name of the engine)


The covered guards van.

That is all this time. The next event to post is the gala, and will most likely be split into parts as I have around eighty images to post, and they are a better quality because I got a new camera.
Please comment on the pictures I have posted so far. Once again te next event at the time of posting is a Tank engine day on the 7th of November.
Thanks,
Lucas,

Seeing how one of these has not been done for a while, here is another one. This time there is only a couple of pictures. Once again I can not remember the engines in steam. THe ones in the pictures are: Horton, Perseus, Thor and Horus (Diesel)
Now for the pictures:


Horton being pushed by Horus.


Horus pulling Horton and the skips down tunnel line.


Horus pushing Horton again.


Perseus going down the tunnel line.


Thor on the front of the shuttle outside the carriage shed.

The next event for me to post is the Tinkerbell rally, where there is quite a few more pictures.
The next event at the time of posting is the Tank Engine day on the 7th of November,
Please comment,
Thanks,
Lucas,

This lot has been a long time coming, and it is hard to remember what was in steam, so once again I will go by the photos.
I think the engines were: Robert Snooks, Medea, Talos, Tinkerbell, William Rufus.
So the photos:


Tinkerbell's and Talos's long freight train down a siding at Kingsmere station.


William Rufus taking a passenger train into Kingsmere platform four. You can see the freight train again behind it. Note, on the tank engine days all the trains are ran in reverse.


Another of William Rufus. Not the tender in the background with out a cab.


Robert Snooks and Medea double heading.


Robert Snooks and Medea double heading outside of Kingsmere station.


Another of Robert Snooks and Medea.


Close up of Medea.


Tinkerbell and Talos double heading near Kingsmere station.

That's all this time, please post any comments,
Thanks,
Lucas,

Right seeing how I have not done one of these for a while, I will do one now. This is a bit different to the others I have done, because rather than being a special event, it is about an engine, one that has just had a long overhaul. Today it was out in steam. The pictures here show it:


The tender whilst it was in the workshop.


Offa whilst waiting in the avoiding line.


On the way back from lakeside.


Passing west signal box.


In platform two.

That is all for today, but soon I will post some more photos when I get around to it. Any requests for photos, please ask. And please post any comments,
Thanks,
Lucas,

Finally got round to posting the next lot of pictures. I can't remember all the engines in steam so I will list the ones in the photos: Jason, Tinkerbell, Talos, Alfred, Perseus, Robert Snook's, Medea, and a visiting engine with no visible name. I will apologise for the poor photo quality as these are off my phone.

I will upload the next lot of photos from the next tank engine day and the open day when I have time. The next event is the Tinkerbell rally on the first and second of may. Please comment on the photos,
Thanks,
