Second Steam Up on the newly relaid SLR(S)

Post by SLRmidge » Sun May 23, 2010 5:32 pm

After a few more tweeks by SLRPedro the newly relaid railway was open again for business this glorious afternoon. Some service running was undertaken for the first hour (passenger services intermingled with gravel trains loading up at Arnside Gravel Works & unloading at Silverdale wharf ) & then it was a free for all :D
Pity Laalratty had to revise :cry:

Looks like good fun was had in the sunny weather. Like Laalratty, I had to revise, and have already missed 3 steam ups due to it!! This time of year seems to be the busiest for steam ups down here! :(

Lovely Stuff.

How about relaying the SLR(N) to a higher standard? I've heared it's even worse than my railway! :lol: ;)

I like to think of it as more to a quaintly bucolic standard  :happy3:
But even i must admit that the undergrowth has become more a takeovergrowth lately :lol: (theres a railway in there somewhere....)

(theres a railway in there somewhere....)
:shock:

Seriously nice set of photo's from this afternoon :D Nice line, loco's and rakes - but the "hose incident" looks decidedly dodgy :oops:

Is that "Babies Tears / Mind Your Own Business" or "Corsican Mint" or what growing trackside at Woodwell?
