Eight in steam for East Lanes February gala

摘要

The East Lancashire Railway's winter gala (February 25-26) attracted more visitors than last year's equivalent, although not such a phenomenal increase as the January 21-22 event [RM, April). The line-up was broadly similar to the previous month's event, comprising NRM-owned 4-6-0 No. 850 Lord Nelson (visiting from the Mid-Hants Railway) and LNWR'Super D' No. 49395, No. 71000 Duke of Gloucester, Ian Riley's'Black Five' No. 44871, 'Black Five' No. 45231 The Sherwood Forester, The Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust's 4MT2-6-4T No. 80080, Hunslet 0-6-OST 'Austerity' HE3163/1943 and Chris Beet's Peckett 0-4-OST May (1370/1915).
