| A gala on the MVR featuring a variety of locos, all of which are pictured
Thanks to MT for a good day. |
The timetable originally featured lots of shuttles. These were abandoned after the second of the day. The first arrives at Box End behind Blackbird.... 519x778 mvr_005c.JPG |
...and prepares to leave with Russell 519x778 mvr_008c.JPG |
The sedond pounds back to Rutton behind new WLR loco No. 14 466x746 mvr_010c.JPG |
The 1970's train that failed to run at the MVR's centenary gala last year was run this year, with Cleeve Abbey (WLR No. 9) and Blackbird in charge. The train nears Box end.... 778x519 mvr_011c.JPG |

As the timetable went up the wall we decided to run a cavalcade. The locos were in the wrong order at Rutton so were sent in turn to Rose Halt and are seen there after assembly 778x519 mvr_029c.JPG |
The locos then ran round the line, and are seen at Box End. 736x410 mvr_033c.JPG |
