A sunny but blustery day saw the 2nd day of the ESR/MRL quarry gala weekend at Merehead. There was plenty to do and see with heavy freight hauledge demonstrations being given by 9f "Black Prince" and the USA S160 locomotive and passenger rides being given by Kinlet Hall. Nice to catch up with Ben & Andy again and it was also nice to help out with abit of guarding on a few of the trips with Dad too. Thanks guys and was nice to have a ride. Sorry Ben, has to be said but Andy still made more noise on the freight runs!!!
