5643 and "Cumbria" together
at RSR!
Two of our three working engines will appear together as the double star turn
at the February Steam Gala in Preston this weekend! 5643 has already hauled
a freight photo charter at Preston - the first time it has been "on the
coals" since 1960!
5643 will head back to Llangollen in mid April - we are open to offers for
Easter bookings - whilst "Cumbria" goes hot on 5643's heels, or
should that be wheels, to the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.
Colours used are original to the
Furness Railway Company paint scheme.
