I only made a quick visit to Birstall this afternoon - I'm participating in the Gala tomorrow and Sunday - but in the 45 minutes I was by the foot crossing two trains made it up the "branch" to Leicester North. The second visitor was Southern Maunsell U Class 2-6-0 31806 on the 15.15 from Leicester. It is a right-hand drive engine so it's James the fireman leaning out of the cab window.

The first of our Southern Railway Gala visitors was on shed at Loughborough today. SR Maunsell U Class 2-6-0 31806 sits in shed road 2 in front of Ivatt 2MT 46521 and Modified Hall 6990 Witherslack Hall.
