Me and my crazyness. Had a personal funeral service for a stunning old lady who came to the end of her working term. We will miss her dearly - but fortunately 3117 is there to follow in her footsteps.

A sad day when a loco loose her name. Look what WENDY spelled - END. This was the end of one stunning loco.

John M looks very happy in the cab while helping with the shunting done on Saturday.

John D had a terrible job getting into a "sauna" of a tender to weld in the new pipe.

Always trying to obtain that one perfect shot of the steam ladies - did not get it yet.

Congratulations Mike! Think it is a lifelong dream for you that came true. Enjoy! We at FOTR are proud of you.
