Public running was disrupted for most of the day today as the high winds posed a danger of falling branches. Here the train lies idle waiting for the weather to improve.

This loco hasn't be seen for a while. It turned up today as it needs a repair before it can have its boiler tested. Hopefully it'll be back running soon.

It's rare to get a steam locomotive running over the winter period but in the run up to Christmas we had two running on the same day.

There was no mistaking the steam locomotive once it was up and running as it left an impressive trail of smoke.

With the freight train out of the way after moving some steelwork for the new viaduct it is time for the first passenger train of the day. The petrol loco was used while a steam loco was being prepared.

Some old rotten wood was burnt at the railway today. It always helps to have a dragon on hand to set it alight.

It was an early start this morning so that some soil and blocks could be moved before public running started. Here the passenger train waits in a siding while the track is blocked by the freight train. It seems to have caused a traffic jam as the small engine was being used for some driving practice.

Merry Christmas to all our passengers.
We look forward to seeing you again on Sunday afternoons.

One of the volunteers brought along his own locomotive today, a class 20.

The weather was much better today so a number of people came for rides.
There were two trains running, the usual petrol locomotive was used when larger groups turned up.
The railway will be open again tomorrow for the last chance of a ride before Christmas.
