Tomorrow all being well I will be attending the first diesel gala on the Embsay and Bolton railway. Highlights are to include the first running in preservation of 31119 from Newton Heath Traction Group along with the groups 08773. It is also hoped the railways class 14 will be running in time for the event.
I've only been once before and it was a very wet day coinciding with a teddy bears picnic.
There is a good shop at Embsay station with a good selection of bachmann stock and books.
Hopefully I will remember the camera and get some photo's, again weather permitting as its been intermittent lovely sunny day/ raining cats and dogs over the last week.
As one of the few remaining diesel events this year I would imagine there to be a fair turnout for the event and may be a good sign for hte future following so many cancelled events.
