1863 and All That!

[45669]

Afternoon All,


I have just spent a splendid week in North Wales which included the Ffestiniog Railway's superb '1863 and All That!' Vintage Gala weekend. I took lots and lots of pictures and the first selection is now on Flickr. This is the first one if anyone would like to have a look :

As usual, clicking on it will enlarge it and take you to the others.


I've still got a few captions to finish, but I expect you will know what you're looking at.


Hope that they are of interest.

I don't normally comment on people's photographs but something about this whole set really appealed to me! terrific lighting in some of those shots, they all came together to tell a story and you captured the whole event incredibly well! Thank you for sharing
