Dean Forest Railway

We headed to Norchard station today for a ride on one of their steam services which was hauled by a Pannier Tank marked up in British Railways black and looking very smart. After a bite to eat in their cafe we were just having a mooch around the book shop carriage when someone mentioned something about a fire and, sure enough, dry bracken on a large section of banking was ablaze! We soo heard sirens and a couple of appliances turned up and crews dampened things down. Good job too!
