An invite to Barrow Hill to join the lads on 56101 for the gala was well recieved and off i set at 05.00 for the trip up to Staveley. First job of the day was drain off 125 litres of engine oil that had soaked the bed plate of 56101 as a crank case door came off during Saturdays (thanks Gareth!!) yours truly spent the best part of an hour underneath the loco draining the oil out!! once that was done a new seal was placed on the offending door seal and the whole thing was refitted, Gareth placed fresh oil into 56101 and we spent a day on site, 56101 did three turns on the shuttle run with 47818, later in the day i coupled 56098 up to 56101 and we opened them up in multiple.....my Lordzzzzz!!!!!

During the gala and at the end of the day i went round and took as many pics as i could, here are 46 pics taken during the Sunday!!!
