The latest stop on 401's autumn tour is the Mid Hants Railway, where it has starred in their Autumn Steam Gala (6-8th October). The following photos are from the Saturday of the event...
In the company of SR Schools class 'Cheltenham', 401 heads away from Ropley shed...
...and off to collect its train.
Sat at Alresford station with a mixed train for Ropley.
Back in Ropley yard.
Ready to depart Ropley for a trip 'over the alps'; a four-mile 1-in-60 climb up to Medstead and Four Marks.
Over the summit at Medstead and down the long straight into Alton.
Stopped at the board in Alton passing loop. Directly ahead is the Network Rail connection to Alton station - the closest 401 has got to the mainline in how long?
Taking water at Alton.
Working hard on the three miles of 1-in-60 back out of Alton.
Passing a 7F at Ropley.
Back on shed at the end of the day.
