Anything Goes Gala - September 2002

This year's Autumn Gala featured all available motive power capable of hauling passenger trains. Each day featured the ex-Port of Felixstowe class 10 'Colonel Tomline' hauling a number of trains, as well as double-headed steam passenger trains shared between 'Spartan', 'Fonmon' or 'Lady Ingrid'. There was also a triple-headed steam train and the 'Bullied' Class 12 also hauled a early morning goods train.

Here is a photo book of events over the weekend.
