| Sunday 3rd of May was a "Vintage Train Day" on the K & WVR, and featured a number of runs using vintage carriages, which included the famous "Old Gentleman's Saloon", which was featured in the classic film "The Railway Children".
After two early morning runs by the DMU, steam power was then provided by former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway No. 957 (ex-BR No. 52044), this loco had come to the line in 1965 and had also starred in the film as well. The other loco was former British Railways Ivatt Tank No. 41241, which had an unfortunate mishap at Keighley when a broken spring put it out of action for the latter part of the afternoon, and it had to sit out the remainder of the event on a siding there whilst Class 20 Diesel No. 20031 was brought up light engine to take over its duties. Fingers crossed the problem isn't too serious and the loco is soon back in service once again. Weather was mixed, and after early morning rain, a stiff and often biting wind ensured that the clouds moved along at a fast rate, and things then alternated between bright Sunshine and blue skies, and cloudy and overcast conditions. This was yet another enjoyable event provided by this famous railway. The mixed morris dancing team (I didn't get their name unfortunately), provided entertainment for the passengers at Keighley Station during the afternoon. |
