Jane, as always has an eye for the magnificent, so she took several shots as the sun went down until she was satisfied with this one.

Later that afternoon Sue &amp; Graham arrived in readiness for our evening out with our nearest and dearest friends at the Red Lion in Market Rasen.

This was an opportunity too good to miss so Jane captured his shame on camera.

We spent the evening having fun in good company, saw in the New Year and didn't head for bed until after 1.30am.

The restored saddle tank train was just puffing out of the station as we arrived but after a cup of coffee in the café the train was back from its short journey up the track and we were ready for our quick experience.

We noticed how much more room there was on the seats in these coaches of the sixties than there is today. Surely these coaches cannot be any wider so maybe they hold fewer passengers. It seems we're paying more for a worse service, can this really be true?

Sue &amp; Graham enjoyed the very slow fifteen ride up to the next stop and then reversing back along the line. There was no heating, the windows were hazy and screaming kids seemed to be everywhere but apart from that it was great.

And finally thanks to all our readers and contributors for sticking with us during 2014.
