LNWR Coal tank 1054 of 1889 still going strong

Francis Webb's designed Coal Tank of 1889
Still going strong thanks to the Bahamas
Society and the Heritage trust not
forgetting the hundreds of
other contributors to
it's restoration
 
 
Leaving Ingrow Keighley bound Wit the vintage
carriage set
 
 
Arriving Oxenhope and yes you can hear a brass
band playing. It was the Wilsden Band
 
 
Here they are and a superb sound too, it really added
atmosphere at Oxenhope station last Sunday

 
What can we say. The superlatives fly off the tongue

 
The vintage carriage set were a splendid sight

 
And the train staff in vintage costume topped it off
beautifully. A combination redolent of those days
past. It really was living history.

 
 
Looking like the star she is 1054 in immaculate
condition with brand new cylinders. One of the
oldest Locomotives still running on the main line

 
The whole afternoon was topped of with a cup of
tea and a biscuit at the Buffet. Many thanks to
so many who make these memorable days for
us all
 
 
 
 
All of the above have museums at Ingrow station
you can spend a very good day out with lots and
lots to see, hear and do.
