Locomotion Shildon Steam Gala
22nd September 2007 to 23rd September 2007

On the weekend of 22nd & 23rd of September Locomotion, the National Railway Museums offshoot at Shildon, helds its anual Steam Gala! Highlight of the event for most people was Mayflower 1306's visit, and the shunting of the boiler wagons on Saturday afternoon, which I unfortunatly missed! Never mind! Some photos from the rest of the event to tantalise those who did not go, or to evoke the memories of those who did!!
