Model Forum / General / Railroads / June 2004railfest 2004
slightly off topic, aplogies just got back from railfest 2004 at york, it's excellent! there's too much to see but today me and my son rode behind Prince, City of Truro and a Rocket replica besides about 5 minature railways about 15 mainline engines in steam, about 30 (steam, diesil and electric) with cabs open to view all for £11 for the pair of us i highly recommend it. > slightly off topic, aplogies > > just got back from railfest 2004 at york, it's excellent! Totally agree - the best railway event I've been to in many a year... Although to young to remember steam on BR (I'm more into MI) the sight and smell of the B12, K3, O2 and 9F all in BR Black, parked together and in steam was really something else... If you're remotely unsure about making the trip to York, you won't be disappointed (see my next post above). Adam Warr As an addition for those thinking of going, we went by rail and I must congratulate virgin railways on the service. the train was spotless, quiet,automatically reserved seats, on time (both ways), good service from staff, free radio to headphones, dedicated exit from the station to the museum and all for £18 each return birmingham to york, cheaper than the petrol/parking would have been makes you want to give up the car > slightly off topic, aplogies > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > i highly recommend it. > slightly off topic, aplogies > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > i highly recommend it. Sounds excellent. Pity I can't make it to York, due to Work commitments. Especially as I was hoping to see the Green Arrow once more - as my Grandfather used to drive it.

No sign of Green Arrow I'm afraid - IIRC it was removed from the NRM by road recently. -- *** http://www.railwayscene.co.uk/ *** Updating regularly throughout 2004 Rich Mackin (rich-at-richmackin-co-uk) > > > slightly off topic, aplogies > > > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > Updating regularly throughout 2004 > Rich Mackin (rich-at-richmackin-co-uk) I think Green Arrow may be going to Bressingham in exchange for Oliver Cromwell.
