Haworth

After release from captivity on the Weardale Railway 37175 arrived at Haworth in mid-May where we could make up for 9 months lost time at Wolsingham and do all the jobs in preparation for the KWVR diesel gala in the space of just a few weeks! This gallery chronicles the remarkable transformation made by our loyal band of volunteers in that time.
