The World War One Motor Rail MR1369 had an outing, as did the SMH G class loco.
The G class is heading for an outing at Leighton Buzzard later in the year, hence its being awoken from a long slumber in the Red Shed.
Possibly the highlight of the day came when both the Deutz and MR1369 managed to find themselves incapacitated at the far end of the running line, with only the G class available to go and rescue – perhaps the biggest load it has moved for donkey’s years.We don’t usually namecheck people – but the driver of the G class rescue mission in the photo is Mel Roberts, who stepped down at the AGM having been Treasurer for 21 years.
