Tony Storey will present ‘Steam Survivors’. Tony comments: “It was a great privilege to be asked to return to the New Forest Railway Club to give another presentation of my railway pictures. This time I will be showing pictures of steam survivors, ie. locos that were withdrawn during the late 1960s, but have survived to operate on heritage railways or on the main line. I have greatly enjoyed photographing steam locos for over sixty years, and since retiring from my profession in 2017, I have been a volunteer on the Watercress Line at Alresford Station as a foreman and signalman.” Visitors welcome. £5 on the door.
