Todays post will bring you some footage filmed by DansRailVideos as he made the trip to Essex from Burnley to attend the Barnards Miniature Railway as they were holding the Mardyke Diesel Gala, which is named after the builder of some of the locos that featured. Two of the locos featured travelled with him from the Thompson Park Railway, which is situated in Burnley, Lancs.
