Description
Today we're in Southport to record, on VHS, the arrival of Bahamas to run steam specials to Wigan. Also in these clips we watch the 2 x 20's move the stock on arrival of the train, and at the end of the day, move the Merseyrail electric back to Steamport. Inside Steamport we observe the loco taking coal and water, plus being turned, by volunteers, on the turntable. All just fond memories od rail specials in Southport; our home town at the time.
