Have you got any information on the loco pulling the Wheldon wagon?
Looks like a good time was had by all.

Nice pics but what is going on in that IOM carriage behind the Landything?

The windows are all steamed up...

Here are my pics of a fantastic afternoon. Although Mr Bond would be advised not to ask why the IoM's carriage windows got steamed up....

And now for something bit different...
Image
Persuasion of PTLRcecil meant that we all got to see the "Land Lady Anne" as he calls it. A faller chassis with MHLR's favorite off roader body on top. Notice the spare wheel...!
Image
I should say it also managed to haul the carriage up the Cross Garden Rail link, as well as down!

And if you thought that was silly....


Image
A Faller "thingie" as I call it! Quite possibly faster then a mamod, absolutely insane and hilarious on the move. Wallace often fell over with the G-force! :lol:

I like the next door connection, I can imagine the knock at the door followed by "please can I have my train back"

I used to have one of those "Faller Thingy"s many moons ago, along with a couple of coaches that came with it :shock:

I've often thought about it and what sort of conversion it would make (and whatever happened to it...............................)

Thanks, that's a real help in figuring it all out. Always interesting to see how other people's lines are configured.
