A hint of Steam

Yesterday we had a day out in the car. We took the last of my Dads railway memorabilia to the Great Central Railway so they can sell the items to raise funds for the running of the railway.
As its several years since he died, his collection of mugs from the preserved lines around the country had been collecting dust on the shelves of their house which is now being sold. It was a morning of washing 30 plus mugs, picking out a couple to keep, and packing them plus books and models into boxes.

We didn't go on the train this time but will do in the near future, however a good walk round the station bought back many memories as I had spent some of my teenage years visiting the railway.

I'm actually quite please with the days photos.






Speak soon xx

    How generous of you to donate the mugs! What a great looking engine that is.

    A lovely gesture Sue. The photos are very nostalgic and atmospheric.
