Railfest 2012

Me and the driblets (Dave, Colin and Terry) put on our best anoraks for a day out at the Railfest 2012 being held at the National Railway Museum in York. A most enjoyable day being well organized, well attended (this was day 8 and thousands present) interesting exhibits and plenty food and drink when required. Only marred by the odd shower and one or two of the engines not exhibited with photographers in mind so apologies for the odd angles and unsightly furniture.
