You may have seen on our events calendar, that last weekend, from the 8th-10th July, the East Lancs Railway Summer Diesel Gala took place.
Unfortunately due to other commitments, we couldn't make the event. However, we are really pleased to annouce our first ever Guest post, complete with two videos from the event.
