Dolgoch 150 - Fletcher Jennings Gathering - Garden Rail Gala
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2016 12:08 am
Garden Railway Gala officially open....yours truly commissioned by Llechfan to do the chalkwork 
5inch Gauge represented by the newly repainted and lined 'Rose of the Torride' - cracking job done by Berry Hill Works
[Matt also had brought his lovely Hunslet, alas I had no photos]
The Home fleet was represented by 'Cadno' with the GWR Express rake
Matt's Quintus also out for a run
'Swordbreaker' on trials puffing up and down the yard - cylinders in need of their two-yearly MOT and a hot box prevented the loco from running any service trains. Wheelsets and cylinders have been dispatched post-haste to RWM to look at.
Glyn Valley Tram
Quarry Hunslet in 16mm!
This Mamod ran rather well - an earlier MSS, it had the glandcap cylinders and decent wheels, enabling it to trot nicely round the branchline inner loop
TR Vintage train with both vintage locos..!
This was an interesting model made from RH parts -a 'what if' of whether the TR had as proposed, purchased a Hunslet "Eva" class for their motive power issues of the 1960s and 1970s. Judging by the model, it would, aesthetically, have made a far more attractive loco! However, I understand that the Irish Turf Board loco that became no.7 was 100x cheaper than a new Eva kit...
This RWM Janet was finally found a new home off ANG's stall -and instantly steamed up.
Upstarted by a Lawley...now if only...this demonstrated "what could Have Been"
The Lawley was seen to run well. However, its own slung looks now doesn't appeal as much to me as it used to - at best, it would have been a freelance 'what if' of GWR Narrow Gauge. Think I did best by cashing in at TR 150 2015....
This modern Mamod was lurking in the branchline depot...
