Preparations are underway at Shildon for a great weekend of steam.
Very few words today. 60163 is proving a real crowd puller, 2400 visitors yesterday alone! We shunted the locos into position tonight ready for steam raising and cleaning tomorrow and here are a couple of pictures to tempt you into visiting the event this weekend, shame the sun wasn’t out…
i would like to see another North Eastern giants of steam gala at shildon again some day- didnt go to the one in 2010 but some of my favourite ever locos were in the line up. maybe it could be called North Eastern giants of steam part 2!
