Thought I'd share some pics from the weekend with you guys.

Friday 17th:

4306/4490 run arounnd the train at Telarah...this scene could almost have taken place 40 years ago!



3642 and 3526 are towed back to Maitland yard:



The two locos are watered in Maitland yard:



More to come as I upload them. Videos to come too, when Youtube comes to the party!

3526 buckets past the old brickworks at Metford:



3526 runs into Telarah yard to turn:



The triple header pulls in behind it - 3237, 5917, 3830 on the 'Steamfest Flyer':





3830 has reversed up the triangle and moves forward into Maitland to propel back into East Greta Junction for coaling:



3830 is coaled in the former exchange sidings:



After shunting, 3237 and 5917 top and tailing pull into Maitland station:





3642 departs Maitland station to turn:



3237 and 5917 have arrived at Maitland:

When YouTube wants to play fair I'll upload the videos, plenty of the triple header and the race train!
