... this one was a disaster. But, as Railway Weekends go, this one was BRILLIANT!
First, little about the stitching I have done. Last week was the turn of White Nights. This was it four weeks ago.

And this is what it looked like at the end of stitching on Thursday (without the use of flash).

Even if you have no interest in steam locomotives and railways watch the video at the end, or the one on YouTube and you will see why the weekend was brilliant.
As mentioned previously this weekend saw the final two days of the nine day 'Steel, Steam and Stars II' Gala. Here are some of the better photos.

Some other photos.
One of the stars of the show.
The Gala ended last night with a ten locomotive cavalcade. This is our video it was taken inside the Signal Box the loud bangs you can here are the levers being moved to operate the signals.Turn up the volume, as the noise is fantastic. There are better quality videos on YouTube. One of them is HERE
Just prior to the Cavalcade it had been raining but just as the first loco came into sight the sun came out and there was a perfect rainbow forming an arch over the whole event. This topped off a brilliant weekend.

Wow your White Nights is looking great. Engines look spectacular and the carriage is superb. What a credit to those who have given time and enthusiasm to restore it to its former glory.
Your White NIghts is fabulous and I just loved your pics and story about the train. I have only been on a steam train once when the kids were little.
Beautiful stitching!
I really enjoyed reading about the trains and your pics are awesome:)
St Pete is looking fantastic - you're making great progress!
great progress Jen! That is incredible. :)
