Description
I went to Peak Rail in Matlock on 9th March and took a few photos there. This is one of them - you may recognise him...without his face, it's the Austerity engine from the Dean Forest Railway, Wilbert!Photograph (C) Me

The REAL Wilbert? You lucky lad! I never get to see any railways... no railways near where I live. >^>

I went to the event on the 10th 
I also overheard that one of the austerities is staying at Peak Rail for some work on it, I'm speculating it may be 75008 "Swiftsure", that was on the turntable as it's in need of an overhaul.
Peak Rail sure has changed throughout my childhood, I remember I've visited as far back as '96 when they held Thomas events with Embsay's "Annie" as Percy and the Watercress Line's "Thomas" and N class 31874 (when it was James) in service, I even remember that Flying Scotsman visited once around 1999 (I think).
