A steam up in the shade, at the Maravel Light Railway

A lovely hot sunny day was the perfect time to have a steam up. Fortunately, the MLR is in the shade so I didn't get too hot or sunburnt! The line is basically a big dog bone shape, with a modest sized station in the middle, with bridges over a long pond and nice sweeping curves...

Dad's diesel parked outside the shed.

My Edrig, now with a painted dome (slightly wrong shade, but it isnt that visible from a distance :lol: )

My Bertie infront of the camera coach (a miniature camera mounted in the window, with a radio link to a TV in the steam up area!).

Hauling the camera coach!

A lovely pair!

Gliding through the depths of the trees....

Sweeping around the curve.

Home build I think.
