Never been to Barrow Hill. Heard it’s really good and they host a great, Beer Festival. Which I would like to go to. Thanks a lot Pete, and look after yourself.

[@donnypete]

@johnhenfrey5936 many thanks John. I'm glad you enjoyed it mate. Its a great place to go buddy if you get chance

The beer festival was excellent when I used to visit 15+ years ago. A chartered bus service ran from the mainline rail station to BH so it was always easy to get back, regardless of the amount of sampling done at the fest.

Nice to see the demonstration track back in use at Barrow Hill, and you've completed the "Three Peaks Challenge" too!

[@donnypete]

@WheelsonRails728 Yes, it was a rather easier 3 peak challenge, lol, and it was my first time on the test track.

Hoped you had a great day out Pete

[@nick8772]

Great to see 45105 running again. I used to follow the progress of this loco back in the noughties since first seeing it on one of my regular visits to the Barrow Hill Rail Ale Festival. Not been for a while, sadly and had lost touch with the restoration work. If I remember correctly, 105 & I are the same age, both dating from Match 1961.

[@nick8772]

MARCH 1961 🙄

[@brianwillson9567]

Same age, eh. Well in 1961 I hated the peaks for ousting the Jubilees on the MML through leicester. But ten years later I loved them, and that has not changed.
