It’s Bristol Harbour Festival this weekend, plenty to see and do in the city centre, including steam train rides!
Here’s a photo of ‘Teddy’ and ‘Judy’ with fires lit, taken this morning.

A Trio of Pecketts
This fantastic shot was taken by Flickr User Captain Tower, who has given permission for its use here.
It shows all three Pecketts in action (Well, nearly – Henbury was on static display) at the recent 30742 charters event.

Youtube user Slam Door Media uploaded a video showing ‘Teddy’ on ‘Driver for a Tenner’ duties whilst Kilmersdon was running passenger services at the weekend. ‘Kilmersdon’ has now departed and ‘Teddy’ will be running passenger services
Peckett Party!
In addition to the Father’s Day Steam Up, the opportunity was taken to run a photo charter, organised by 30742 Charters and featuring ‘Teddy’ and ‘Kilmersdon’ in action, as well as ‘Henbury’ on static display.
Will Stratford was there to capture the occasion in these great photos.

Bank Holiday Weekend Services
Steam trains will be in operation this coming Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. Kilmersdon will be doing the honours, seen here looking very smart.
Note: I do apologise for previously publishing inaccurate information regarding operating days this year, this was a mistake which has now been corrected by linking through to the official M Shed page. Please note that this is an unofficial blog site maintained by a volunteer, and that the best place for information on opening times and events is the M Shed website.
More video of Kilmerson
Lee Robbins posted this great selection of clips of Kilmersdon operating trains on Bank Holiday Monday – take a look!

Callum Willcox took this great footage of visiting Peckett 0-4-0ST ‘Kilmersdon’ giving passenger rides in the glorious sunshine on 6th April 2015.

Blue skies and blue locomotive today, as Peckett 0-4-0ST ‘Kilmersdon’ is at work on passenger trains for the first services of 2015. The SS Great Britain and New Cut branches are in operation, come down to the docks for a ride!
