april bank holiday which was also easter weekend saw a rather good 3 days for me. on saturday i went out and spent a morning/early afternoon of linesiding at the nene valley railway which had 44422 and D9523 in operation on the day i also popped down to the ferry meadows railway momentarilly to see if their new american outline steam lookalike diesel was running yet this however is not running yet when i hear it's running i will go see it though
sunday was quiet and nothing happend
monday morning was quiet but in the evening i popped out to the mainline station to see 1S22 as it was to have 91121 dragging a HST set formed of 44319 and 43318 from london to eduinburgh but this ended at doncaster with it's passengers changing for a different set finally i also had fortune of seeing D9523 (not D9516 as nvr's website claimed) on my way to the station again to see 67006 and 005 hauling the easter highlander tour back to london after a weekend in scotland
enough of the treats there was unfortunately a trick in the sleave that the computer has suffered a little damage from a virus which isn't as malicious as it claimed to be but i'll keep an eye on it (nothing to worry about viewers you won't get it by looking at my pages) it just means things/updates will be a little slow for me till i get it sorted
on the matter april and may look pretty good for NVR as they will have all their operational steam engines in action (hopefully knowing the polish tank's reliability) and some good diesels and ex local shunters on the 17th of april and their S&D event and bank holiday orange services
