TR Volunteers Weekend Away

This weekend saw a few of the TR volunteers enjoy a trip to the Pontypool And Blaenavon Railway, Dean Forest Railway and the Gloucester And Warwickshire railway. This is a few photos from the trip.

Stewart, Antony, Luke, Chris and David chat as 71515 is being made ready.

Sunday
Rennes is the attraction at the Dean Forest Railway- being built in the NE. 
Callum poining to D8059- this loco was built by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn Ltd, Darlington in 1967.
Rennes has unsurprisingly attracted a large TR crowd. 
The final visit of the day was to the Gloucester And Warwickshire railway- where Luke (a fan of class 47's) looks impressed by 47367- while Chris, Callum, Matthew and Antony discuss more steam related things.
