Due to the lovely sunny weather a steam up was held at slrpedro's. My Kittiwake took out the first passenger train of the day(before the expected crowds of passengers arrived!).
Arriving at Arnside Castle...
Passing over the cob...
Standing at Silverdale...
And departure...
Arriving at Woodwell...
Later in the day 'David Williams' joined in the service...
Excelsior running light engine...

Ditto, is the air pump a new feature on your Wrekin?

They look very nice, but due to the unbelievably warm weather the roofs startled to buckle into banana shapes

Yes, both the pump & sand pot positions were suggested by laalratty.

Maybe its just the engine that has air brakes and is not kitted out for continous braking mmmm.

Ive had a word with pedro & he said that one coach is a much modified Locomotion kit whilst the other is a scratch built copy, so theyre fairly unique.
