With the sea as a backdrop, 8 'Fenella'
and 4 'Loch' pass Keristal.
The evening shot with the sea as a backdrop at Keristal is a sort of 'holy
grail' shot to some Isle of Man Steam Railway enthusiasts. On
this occasion, it looked like we would get no light and did several run pasts in
dull conditions, but then the sky opened up a little and we
were treated to some lovely evening sunshine. Having done several run pasts
before this happened, 'Fenella', with its smaller water tanks,
ran low on water, so we only got a couple of run pasts with it before it had to
head off to Santon light engine for a drink.
