More steam...

sally_mariaThis morning I got an email from the railway volunteers list, saying that the steam department had run out of clean rags for cleaning the engines - I suppose 7 engines for 4 days on the trot is going to go through a lot of them. :-) We had some old unwanted towels, so we decided to take them up to Toddington this afternoon.
It was a pretty miserable day, but I'm not sorry we went, as we were greeted by this...
8572 on a low-loader, waiting to go back to the North Norfolk railway. We went off to find someone to give the rags to and when we came back they were shunting the tender out into the car park as well, and another lorry was coming in to pick it up. We waved her goodbye, and I'd love to see her in her usual home one of these days.
