May Meeting 2023

May was a difficult month or us because our meeting clsashed with Easter Sunday, We normally  move to the following Sunday, but often (as in this case) members are tied up with family or a holiday break. So no usual meeting to report on

However the blog does have a few things in the pipeline, as well as reports of steam outings,

Photographed right at the beginning of June, on a trip to Scotland, Pete King captured the grandure of steam north of the border. The loco crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct is an ex LMS Black Five No. 45407 “The Lancashire Fusilier". 

Later in the month, Alan Smith visited the Ffestiniog and West Highland Railway in Snowdonia. We hope the pictures say it all.
