27th October 2004:

Lots of excitement today. Many children and mums came in the appropriate clobber.

In the marquee at Alresford there was a lovely little pipistrelle bat all wrapped up in deep red velvet, and he (she?) didn't seem bothered about being disturbed in early afternoon when all righteous bats are fast asleep (but flash might have been unkind, so no pic)

There was a 10mph Temporary Speed Restriction at the overbridge near Wanders Curve, then #41312 accelerated the Wizard Express up 1:60 gradient towards M4M. An enthusiast vacated train windows nearest the loco, so I just held the camera at arm's length to catch this Movie (5.5MB) for you. (Note that when it returned from its travels, it bore a smokebox numberplate that did not match cab side numbers)
