2017 Vintage and Oscillator Day.

Fine weather brought out a good attendance but it was a bit windy and this made Mamod running tricky. Norman and Russell came with an impressive collection of Regners and other members had the same idea. There was very little siding space left by the afternoon but everyone seemed to have a good time and much tea was consumed. The big railway also had a good day. They had three engines in steam and their vintage train looked stunning.

Brian and Keith both got their cameras clicking and produced some really nice photos.

The term “Vintage & Oscillator” didn’t just apply to railway locos……
