Well, maybe the last of the good weather down here, as the rain's starting to set in. So today, we made the most of it...


A 7/8ths Edrig on blocks.


Tag's newest aquisition running superbly... and smelling good!
Tag looks like he's growing a regulator handle out of his nose  :?


Look! The REAL Gag!  :lol:


Tag gives 'John Kelly' a cup of tea.



















Tag's newest toy... R/C Andel loco... called 'Mule'! I think there's going to be a reveiw in GortonRail.


Nice plume from the S.V.


Me dog enjoyed it too! Oddly, a load of us took dogs today (and even the animal kind... ), so she was 1 of 3!

Luvvly Jubbly pics.

Gah, a steam- up at Jim's and I wasn't invited? Pah! I like it there. Looks like a good turnout too. I've got an Edrig to test dammit!

What loco is this one Pete?



Looks Accucraft- esque but I can't place it!

Looks like a nice day. I'd say that loco is a modified Wrekin, I'll be wrong but worth a shot

No looks older than accurcaft! some thing merlin?

Yeah, now you mention it the motion looks wrong. Pearse Ulyesses?

yeah i do not thinks a merlin but could be a pearse

Matt's right, it's a Pease Ulysses, but the outside framed version:

Come and test your new Edrig here then

Nice set of pictures - thank you for sharing them!

Nice pics there, not all is lost though, I had really good weather today, and if I wasn't at school, my locos would have been running all day long!
There's always the winter steam ups to look forward to now, with frost on the ground, crisp air, and a loco running to it's heart's content, that's what I love doing!

Lovely pics Pete, looks like Tag's got himself a cracking buy, though it must be a bit weird being at a steamup with the editor of Garden Rail, the best the NWAG has managed is Peter Angus at PTLR fest this year.

is that you folwer pete look great

DolLightRail,
My favirote time to run aswell, a cold clear bright night is one step better.

What about me?????

Sorry Will. Builders of fine 16mm scale locos are seen as far more importent then FfR trainee firemen with Edrigs in the NWAG, even if they own a legendery plastic driver

I have to ask - what's this "end of season"?? I always run (tho' not very often) all through the winter...................

Well the West Cornwall lot don't run much at all in Winter, although I am going to try to organise one near xmas, but the weather gets really wet, cold and very windy down here, so most of the older members won't run! So "the season" is the Summer (if we've had one!), because the weather's better and we run nearly every-other weekend.

That's the bit I was heading for.

Not at all- Tag is a very nice chap indeed, incredibly down to earth and great company. I'm lucky enough to have visited the Longlands & Western railway several times

Can agree with Pete about the Cornish weather. It might be warm down here but bigods is it wet!

same goes of me Especially on chrismas day hopely lots of new top to play with (new loco)

Oh, and I'll take you up on that offer when I've got transport and (if) we get a decent weekend Pete

Having had another look at Ulyesses, you can see where Ragleth gets some inspiration from.
