Railfest At The NRM
'Railfest' took place at York at the end of May and beginning of June 2004, and the FR made a strong presence (some said we stole the show) with Prince, newly-restored Carriage 15, and the Curly-roof Van, virtually a new build. Cyril Perrier's visit was made on Wednesday, June 2nd, a day blessed with sunshine, unlike some of the others.
