UK: MHR Santa and VSOE workings at Hackhurst

[Steve Appleton]

From the photographer, Warwick Falconer:

Had semi productive day in the gloom and done some photoshop at last! These are from 3 December with 31806 on the MHR Santa workings followed by the VSOE at Hackhusrt farm FINALLY in the sun with 35028 doing the honours as usual. **edit alert** The VSOE was the best I have ever seen with the second coach onwards being Pullmans. The first vehicle was Clan Line's MK2 support coach which did the decent thing and turned into a MK1 before vanishing altogther.

Few more from weekend one in December.... lots more cloud was lucky. Only one train out on the MHR but with super U boat 31806. That engine on the Mid Hants is probaly the most correct thing on offer in the country at the moment and it happens every weekend. U class worked the line on green MK1 stock in steam days. I chartered her 4 times within the space of 6 months last year and guys are still asking us to do another one.
