Fairwell to the 101's. December found the 101's on their farewell tour, which was captured at three locations.

January – English Electric Day - The first themed day for English Electrics, gave a welcome viewing of the two resident 40’s. The first outing of Rileys new 37 D6961 was superbly complemented by his mainline 37197, and the immaculate 37’s of Mr Harry Needles 37194 and 37087. This was in fact the last time to see this many 37’s all in one event, because Mr Rileys were later sold on. D345 ventured onto the main line again for a trip from Rawtentstall to York.

February – Sulzer Day - This was the second of our single day events, and was hugely popular, despite some sultry weather. Two visiting locomotives were without doubt a great attraction, and a must for haulage. Brush ‘type 4’ 47853 ‘Rail Express’ in XP64 colours and Freightliner 66 No 66524, were used for topping and tailing to Heywood.. Peak 45135 3rd Carabinier, and resident 24 D5054 serviced the runs from Bury to Rawtenstall. The two visiting EWS 66’s 189 & 131 on tour from London Kings Cross are featured at Bolton Street.

March – Hydraulics Day - The E.L.R. is famous for its preserved Hydraulics, and all the larger locos were out to please. The Gorton Built Hymek D7076, 1041 Western Prince, and D832 Onslaught resplendent in B.R. maroon. The three were complemented by resident 31 D5600.

Approximate Running Time - 115 Minutes
