130 years old

Yesterday I took photos of the first ride out in 70 years for this lovely old engine without knowing that was the case. When I read that it was running again today and realised that if we got to the station ten minutes before our train was due we might see it close up.
Our train arrived first but was held just up line waiting for the T3 to pull in as it is single track so I managed to get a few close shots as it came through. Six years to fully restore and looking fabulous.
Train to Swanage and walked back via the coastal path and then across country for the last three miles. Very warm and sunny and got through lots of water.
Swanage was really busy with lots of people on or in the sea.
