Title: Open season again
Post by: danzigfan on 12 May 2012, 12:38:24

Hi guys after a while, haven't been here for few weeks (redecorating apartment amoung other things....) omega still running like new, just a few rust issues need to be sorted, nothing major.
For all of you who enjoy steam trains I have few pics from today and will post more on our way back, hopefully more scenic shots than these  :y
