Bluebell Railway Autumn Tints 2007

5th October 2007

A selection of pictures from the Autumn Tints Specials in October 2007.

This collection also features the Sussex Belle Pullman and a Footplate Days and Ways course taking place at the same time (you can learn to drive a steam engine - see http://www.steamway.dircon.co.uk/footplate.html for more details).

On hearing that Autumn Tints had many bookings the locomotive department decided that a larger engine may be required... Sheffield Park 05.10.2007	A bunker full of coal, please....
