Engines large and small.

Saturday 26th March was a day of not only our Mothering Sunday cream tea service, but also a day of engines large and small

Let’s start with the large, here is the Polish tank engine about to leave Wansford with the cream tea service to Peterborough Nene Valley.

Now we have a mixture of large and small as the Peak 45041 stands at platform two prior to departure and a parade of small steam engines pass over the level crossing

Now a selection of pictures of the small steam engines which proved very popular.

Super weather for a super day.
My thanks to Matt for the excellent images.

Cream Tea time.

Tomorrow (Saturday) sees the railway running the popular cream tea service.

This is one of the regular events on the railway that’s always popular. So we have three runs with a main diesel service and two runs with a steam cream tea service.

The services will be passing at Orton Mere, so nice to see both lines in use there.

If you’re interested in the cream tea service then take a look at the main site for more details.

Requested Locomotives.

On the web cam on running days we are often asked when a certain loco will next be running, sometimes we can answer and sometimes not.

Anyway, here in order are the top five asked about locomotives.

  1. The Peak 45041
  2. The Pacer, even though not currently been bought into service.
  3. The Polish tank engine
  4. Class 14 locomotive
  5. Thomas

Yes I was surprised at first that Thomas was not more asked after, but I presume it’s because it appeals more to children than adults.

So, what would your top five list be? I would love to know, please leave a comment with your list.
