The line turns into two as it comes into the station.
The engine is uncoupled from the carriages and then proceeds to a man power operated turn-table at the end of the line.
It comes down the other line, passing the carriages and then reverses back up the line with the carriages on to commence the return journey through the valley and countryside to the coast at Ravenglass.
We didn't take the journey, we had to watch the clock so to speak. With hindsight, we really wish we had done though.
The manually operated turn-table.
Everybody connected with the Railway was kept busy as well.
This Engine was about 'eighty years old'
Outstanding condition.
Two separate trains pulled in whilst we were there as well.
We probably dropped very lucky.
The older chap with the 'Father Christmas Beard' really looked the part.
These guy's were ready for a brew.
