A Farewell To Clan Line
I’ve uploaded some shots of 35028 on her farewell tour on 30th June 2015 to YouTube. These shots will be included in new Clan Line programme that I’m currently working on. It is a retrospective of her exploits since 2007. Much of the footage has appeared on Steam Age programmes already, but there are a few new shots, some others have not been available on High Definition Blu-ray before, and it has all been re-edited.

We had a lot of fun playing here last autumn, and they’ve invited us back. Our advice is to book in advance and get there early. Last year the church was full, including the gallery!
