We have a winner! --  Ben Pavier wins first prize.

And the winning loco. The BR class 7 Britannia pulled 6 passengers for 12 laps with an efficiency of 0.52%.

Here is a link to a short video of some of the locos going up the bank.

All the photos below seem to have been taken in the sunshine. There must be some taken in the rain. Perhaps the photographers didn't want to get their equipment wet!

Here are 4 photos of locos from the Saturday, kindly sent to us by E. I. Lummas.
