Chris after having passed through Zip Junction heads towards Horrendous with Wally riding behind. Back at the steaming bays Ron Trenhaile and Sean Roberts having a discussion with Sean's steam switcher engine behind him.

The station is always a good gathering place and here we see members and guests as they wait for the trains to come around, with some just relaxing. Looking out past the tables we see Rick with Chris and Wally at the siding off the main.
