Railfest At The NRM
From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group
'Railfest' took place at York at the end of May and beginning of June 2004, and the FR made a strong presence (some said we stole the show) with Prince, newly-restored Carriage 15, and the Curly-roof Van, virtually a new build. Cyril Perrier's visit was made on Wednesday, June 2nd, a day blessed with sunshine, unlike some of the others.
