First pics of the year are of the UK Railtours trip to High Marnham, mostly taken at the former LD&ECR station at Ollerton, including shots of the presenting of cheques to Action for Children charity, taken for & on behalf of the RIDC. A short hop to Thoresby on the 9th, for 66742, thats another one 'chalked off' at Thoresby. On the 10th I went to Clay Cross for 56301, and yes, the sun disappeared after shining for most of the day!!
