A selection of photographs from the Mixed Gala

The SRPS have put on an excellent gala event for Fathers Day, with a variety of Steam and Diesel hauled trains, with the CR and Teak coach sets out for the occasion and making a special atmosphere.
A lot of pre-planning and organising on the day
with plenty of shunting action to ensure the 50 minute service kept to time.
Congratulations to the SRPS for running this event.
