A trial and practice loading was held on 28/08/23. Members and friends made bookings online over several weeks and this day they arrived at the station, were directed to their seats by carriage attendants. When all had boarded the train it made 3 short runs to the end of the yard and back. After this they left the train and were provided with a sausage sandwich or two on the platform. Three PiPs show the train in action. This photo shows the cooking and serving arrangements on the platform with some of the passengers waiting for there food.

The pips of the mandarins are placed in a loose woven cloth and cooked with the fruit to assist the setting of the finished product. A cable tie is used to hold the pips in place.

Some of the bottles of mandarin marmalade from earlier batches.

Smell the marmalade my wife is cooking! It's cut up, sugar added at the whim of the cook (recipes are for the timid), brought to pressure and held for a few minutes them left to cook as it cools.
