Hiya
Me and my dad were going to put GWR 5922 on a western last Barrow Hill gala but it was not possible but this year 61028 Umseke might well go on 61264.
Its original number plate which has been in my family since picked up from Darlington scrap yard.

Im sorry to announce that the number plate from 61028 will not be going on 61264 at Barrow Hills Steam Gala as the owner sadly passed away yesterday.

His dream was to have him, his brother and his best mate who all have had the number plate since it was found at Darlington Scrap yard.
