The annual pilgrimage to Keighley and Worth Valley Railway came around again. Last year I had missed it due to it being held on the same weekend as Download Festival at Donington, so this year I was going to make the most of it. It's a great event, even if your not a train buff - as there's plenty to see and do for all the family.
Here's a few pic's of the days festivities.

After being hauled by the two impressive loco's, the Deltic was uncoupled at Haworth yard...
A great day out, I would highly recommend it. The restaurant car has an excellent bar aboard, with a variety of local real ales. And don't forget the Fish and Chip shop at Haworth opposite the station too!

thanks for posting but give me a Black 5 any day
cheers Danny
I do like a Black 5, massive things, great bit of engineering. They have got one sat in a shed in Haworth I believe. The Autumn Steam Gala is on - 7th, 8th & 9th October 2011 be sure to see the thing on duty over that weekend!
