Pat taking out the Christmas Tabloids ready to go into storage elsewhere for 11 months until the next Santa Day. To the right we took the opportunity to photograph these tabloids on the snowy tracks.
The first train service had been cancelled due to the earlier adverse weather conditions over North Lincolnshire preventing some of the train staff to get through to the park, plus other members of staff being ill. The first train is now scheduled to operate on Sunday 7th February 2010

Pat with the cut out tabloid of the steam locomotive Koppel which safely tucked up in the shed. The only time the reindeer saw real snow during this holiday period.

Former member of the D&DMESL gives a helping hand to put into storage for another 11 months the tabloids in a garage roof. Hopefully they will be reappearing again for the 2010 Santa Specials and the reverse procedure will be swung into action. 

Expecting bread to be given out a the ducks line up like a queue of passengers for a train. Very few visitors to the park to see this beautiful wintry scene.                                                                                                                                 Photographs by Pat Ashton

6th January 2010  An even deeper fall of snow covers the park and the railway tracks, all of this has now thawed and the park has taken a much greener appearance again.
