On this day in 1966: 116 children and 28 adults lost their lives in the Aberfan disaster. We will never forget.
What a weekend! Foxcote Manor back in Wales at Llangollen Railway, the atmosphere was brilliant, so many happy faces. Heres a pic of 7822 by Joe Wellstead.
Foxys Annual Summer Social takes place at Llangollen Railway on the evening of August 10th. We hope you can make it to support 7822. Steam, live entertainment, bar and buffet, tickets £20. Contact [email protected] to order yours.
A nice touch from the NRM to celebrate the life of preservation great and former Foxcote Manor Society President, Sir William McAlpine.
We'll be commemorating Sir William McAlpine's life and work on Friday with a naming ceremony of a Class 90 locomotive in his name and a visit from Flying Scotsman.
