No report this time around, I don't want to bore you to death! Just pics B)
SR King Arthur Class 4-6-0 No. 771 'Sir Sagramore' sits in Stopham Road station with the Goods train on trial.
Whilst LMS Mogul No. 13245 sits by the water tower filling up, Exmoor 0-4-2T No. 319 'Pulborough' rushes past with a passenger train.
Bagnall 0-4-2T&T No. 1 'Alice' speeds past the engine shed with the SDLRS Chairman in the drivers seat.
Earlier in the day, the Mogul was to be found on passenger services. I was driving prior to this picture, as I was enjoying a spot of tea and sandwhiches 
The Mogul shows off her clean lines as she sits simmering by the water tower having been relieved of her duties.
The King Arthur again as she makes her way around the inner loop. This shot illustrates her beauty and elegance which she has gained since overhaul.
Another Foster made an appearance as well!

I thought that too
In all honesty, that all looks like it is too much fun to be legal.

| As long as they've got insurance and the boiler is certificated, it sure is legal. |

SB, I had left the other glove on a buffer stop somewhere  The reason for the long shovel as well is the long firebox. About one and a half feet! 
John, it's just like the Paulton's Park slogan 'Too much fun for one day'
At least you didn't see my face. Covered in soot and all the other muck that shoots out of the chimney  Although my hand was bad enough (see pic in SB's quote!)

| That hand's not dirty MTA! You should see mine at the end of the day. Is there a shorter shovel for that loco? On the railways I volunteer at we just have to flick it to the back of the firebox. |

Not for that one. Although we tend to use longer shovels for engines with long fireboxes as one time someone was firing the Black 5 (which has a short shovel) let go and the shovel ended up in the firebox
