Open afternoon on Robs line

Post by andysleigh » Sun May 03, 2009 10:16 pm

Today i went to a GMES members line in Guildford.
First time i have been, i wasnt dissapointed.
Its a very big, long, line, with alot of bridges, i supose if your a structural engineer then you have to have plenty of bridges.
Gave my locos a chance to properly stretch their wheels.

OOPS.
This all turned into a big pile up, first with with the merlin crashing into the finescale, falling over, getting back on, merlin being sent down the wrong road into my wagon, reversing back out, then a cheddar crashed into the merlin. good times.

Bigger OOPS. Points set wrong way, and came off and fell into the shrubs. Engine was an edrig,
