Steamrail Open days
I know that it is not strictly related to wood but thought some might be interested in the Steamrail open days this weekend at Newport.

A good crowd attended today - all ages.
Here are a couple of photos. Four K Class Locos together for the first time and R761 at the turntable having just been turned as a demonstration.
