I've been scanning up more old slides - this time some taken during the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway's Spring Gala in 1983.

It's strange.  I must have been there, because here's the slides!  But I have no recollection whatsoever of the day out.  My wife thinks I'm going mad in my old age.  She must be right, and this is the proof.

It must have been a day of sunshine and showers judging by the pictures.  And its fascinating looking at how developed the K&WVR was even in those early days.

To see these and other pictures I've taken on the K&WVR, check out my album of pictures of the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.
