The Leek & Rudyard Railway held their annual Steam Gala on 16th and 17th September 2017. Once again it was an excellent event with the home fleet operating alongside Guest Locos Empress and Nelly. An intensive timetable of both Passenger and freight trains ran on both days.
There was also the chance to catch a few Diesel hauled trains throughout the day. The highlight of the day must surely be the Cavalcade when all available Locos operate together. Quite a spectacular scene, and noisy.
The North Staffs Model Engineering Society were offering rides on their 5'' Railway. A superb model Railway was on Platform 2 and a fine display of classic cars were on show in the car park.
Many Thanks to each and every one of the volunteers at the LRR for once again making this a fantastic not to be missed Steam Gala.
Also the Classic car owners, The Model Railway, The North Staffs Model Engineers and to the owners of the guest Locos.
