Few more of Millie, I wish I could say I did the mod's but she was like it when I bought her off eBay except she was Matt black so I repainted her..............
Must fit the new buffer beam I made for her.
Sun's a bit high right now makes Photo's a problem
In the cutting.
Oh! Oh! Look's like a dead Hobo in the waggon!!

well the chassis is original and the side tanks look original too but the rest is something else.
by the way outside fire locos are called pot-boilered locos

Well afternoon service was provided by ANNA on a short good's
not many people rate ANNA but mine is a Roundhouse version and while looking a bit toylike she is my best steamer by far!
Pulling the grade out of the station
The sun is lower now so a bit easier but still very bright!!
It's 5:30 and still 79F on the railway so no steam plume at all...

I like the cutting in the afternoon it gives a nice leafy dappeled look
Coasting through the station with the safety just hazing.......

Why Yes! Yes it is!...............Electrics usually go the other way round so it's a down grade for them, but the steamies tend to go thundering through the station that way round!!!
