Grand Slam Day

March 17, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

King Edward I Bows Out In Style6024 at Knapp Farm Crossing II I had to make a difficult decision today.   Go to our local pub to watch Wales try for a grand slam in their final match of this year's Six Nations, or go over to the West Somerset Railway for the first day of their Spring Steam Gala.   The Wizzer won.   But so did Wales, so well done to them.   As well as the Wizzer's gala, I also got to see GWR King class No. 6024 King Edward I on its final mainline run before withdrawal for a major overhaul.   So, despite the conditions being less than ideal for much of the day, like Wales, I had a pretty good result.   Check out my Mainline Steam 2012 album for images of the King in action, while the gala images are in a separate album under 2012 Albums.    I will also add some video in due course.
