Nene Valley Railways Winter Steam Gala 2013
The first winter gala held at the NVR which included an old friend BR Standard 4-6-2 7MT No.70000 "Britannia" from its Mainline duties and an ex-GWR 2-6-2T No. 4141 from the Epping- Ongar Railway. Also in steam were the LMS 0-6-0 4F No.44422, Austerity 0-6-0ST USC No.22 (HE3846) and HC1800 0-6-0T No.1 Thomas (without face). Another first for the gala was the use of the Fletton loop with brake van rides after recently being transfered to the NVR. Unfortunately our 73050 wasn't able to attend and on Saturday Britannia developed an Earth fault at Yarwell were it stayed until Sunday afternoon.
