A GOOD turnout came along to the 1940s Weekend as Keith and Dufftown Railway played host to its ever-popular living history event.
Both stations on the heritage railway line adopted a wartime look, with the Sidings Café in Dufftown even being festooned with a camouflage net.
Among the themed displays were the Desert Rats, the Women’s Land Army and the Sawdust Fusiliers, who worked as lumberjacks (and lumberjills).
Meanwhile, Liz Ashworth from Lhanbryde was on hand to talk about the experiences of her father who was a Japanese POW in Burma.
Drummuir resident Helen Bodiam who helped organise the event, said: “Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves, and the weather was gorgeous – which always helps. The railway volunteers and the various groups, such as Scottish Military Vehicles, were all just brilliant. It’s a team effort.”
