Ian Riley's Stanier 5 and Standard 4 4-6-0s turned out together on an special from Warrington and round the edge of Manchester to Buxton and back. The Black Five had just returned from Scotland where it had run as 44996 and had been left in typical 60s condition, ie dirty! A slow but steady climb on a wet rail up to Buxton was followed by a lively romp down from Chinley to Hazel Grove.
