7mm Narrow
Gauge Association
Yorkshire Area Group -
Summer Outing
This summers outing took place on
the evening of 15th June and was an open house at the Abbey
Light Railway in the grounds of Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds. The
railway was opened for us and all the toys got out of the box
and started up for us to play with.
Budding drivers could have a go at
driving anything around the works yard and up the "main line".
Having "previous" I was thrown in the deep end with the first
trip up the line. |

To fully
demonstrate how hopeless I am with names I wont attempt to name
everyone in captions myself but if participants want to write
with amended captions including the names I'll add them later. |
