 | 22nd Nov 2008 | Phoenix RPC social November 2008
An excellent day out in North Lincolnshire for the Phoenix RPC annual social event. The day started at Barnetby (after a brief stop at Claypole crossing near Newark on the ECML at dawn) with specially organised visits to Wrawby and Barnetby East signal boxes. After a fish and chip lunch we travelled to Scunthorpe for a tour of the steelworks in a pair of ex-BR guards vans hauled by a 1958 Yorkshire Engine Co diesel shunter. A very chilly day but with some fantastic light and excellent company. A special thanks to Daffyd and Bob for organising such a great day out!
