October started with a visit to see 60009 on the borders railway, and ended with a visit to Bo'ness Heritage Railway for their Autumn Steam Gala.
Along with the resident locos we were hoping to see Ian Riley's Black 5, 44871 and a special visitor from Furness.
The day did not disappoint with 44871 hauling along with 62712 Morayshire, which is due to go out of service for overhaul.
The star of the day was No 20, a beautiful 0-4-0 tender engine built in 1863.No 20 is Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam loco.
