ptlrcecil Thanks for sharing those great photos. What type of loco is that you've featured, as it is very nice looking and I assume that the whistle is a working model?
South-Trethevy It is all to do with a thing called geography, and the influence that the North Atlantic Drift has on your county. Come to Scotland, you are almost guaranteed to get snow somewhere, Aberdeen gets it almost every year like the last 2 days.

'Gowrie' was a N.W.N.G.Rly loco, and was an 0-6-4, built by Hunslet (www.whr.co.uk/s/history/nwngr_stock#gowrie), the N.W.NG.Rly also had 'Snowdon Ranger' & 'Moel Tryfan' which were also 0-6-4, though this time built by Vulcan Foundry, and had a completly different look (www.whr.co.uk/s/history/nwngr_stock#snr_moelt).MTA wrote:It is a single Fairlie Chris, I believe the WHR or the FR had one named 'Gowrie' at one pointCCairns wrote:ptlrcecil Thanks for sharing those great photos.

The FfR then has 'Taliesin', an 0-4-4 (www.ffestiniograilway.co.uk/locos/taliesin.htm), which is the one that looks the most like the PTLR's one, I belive that it's front power bogie is a Roundhouse 'Millie' chassis?

Actually the whistle is just a very bad looking dummy (I need t replace it at some time.

I've been watching the weather forcast over the past few days, and they're saying that tomorrow(Friday), the whole of the north of the British Ilse is going to be hit by a snow storm. Its true here in Durham. Today we had a 1/2 hour snow fall, and tomorrow, heavy snow, and temperatures between 2 and -5, is fordcast.
Yipee .

I was working on my extension today when a sudden hail/snow storm flew in when me and dad were mortaring some concrete blocks in, we couldn't go insde till the blocks were set right and covered. It was horrible
I've never had any real snow since i've had a steam loco, maybe tommorow might be the chance to run a winter service

I never had a problem with school cos the year 7s would just go manic and the teachers couldnt control them so they just sent everyone home

At my last school in Cumbria, we had a very heavy snow fall on a friaday morning in early march 2 years ago. During lunch hour, the entier school site became a snowball war zone , with the entier school of 1000 Kids having a huge snowball fight . I hit about 100 people, and got hit back as many times . After lunch hour, the treachers werer worried that some children wouldn't get home, so they sent us all home, and we didn't have to do afternoon lessons .
Back on the farm where i lived, there was a large, half ball shaped hill, which I, my bothers, and almost every kid in the village, spent the rest of the day sledging down .
About 2 weeks later, we had a bizard, which lasted all the way through sunday. The snow was so deep, we couldn't sledg on it! Also, because some of the roads were still blocked for days afterwards, school was cancelled on Monday !
Sadly, I didn't get a chance to run my trains on those to occasions. One was that I was having fun sledging, and 2, the track was under 2 feet of snow!
