[Rosco8]

Okay, okay .. a long weekend .. itchy for some steam .. receive a notification that the Coffee Pot will be running at Quorn after a 10 year restoration .. what does one do .. damm .. YES MAN .. so jump a flight with my youngest, hire a car, stop off for lunch in the Clare Valley, there was no accommodation Sat in Quorn so head to Peterborough and do the Light and Sound show .. Sunday rock into Quorn ... awesome :):) Coffee Pot is an amazing train .. and a bonus behind the W for a 2.5 hr trip followed by workshop tours being shuttled by the Coffee Pot. Some snaps for you :):)
