Garden Railway Forum

Much regauging brought about a dozen steamers to the annual steam up on the 45mm Windy Ridge Railroad which, as usual, brought the out the sun, even though the morning had been dull & overcast. The killer rabbit was busy out & about cadging lifts on most of the trains throughout the afternoon

Some more from me......

some great pics, looks like a fun day [/u]

nice railway! and that edrig looks quite bizzare with the cab!

Well you see the footplate crew were sick of getting soaked through in our lovely British weather, so a redundant cab cover was purloined from the Little Morecambe Rly which has now made Relief driver Willi Eckerslike, in particular, very happy.

It's just a pitty it looks so awefull...
Great pics Midge, it was a bit strange having the 2 biggest NWAG steamups of the year within a week of each other but was great all the same. This was also the first Windy Ridge even in which I believe not a single piece of american rolling stock was used, the WRR has invested in lots of lovely IP engineering carriages. I'll post my pics later, unfortunatly pics can't really do justic to the loco Jools brought, "Lord Faa Faar's Jelofee", which caused hilarity with the vicar and Lord Faa Faar talking to each other at regular intervals! There may be a video of this eventually...

I think characterful is a nicer word

It might be a nicer word but it's not suitable for describing that cab roof!
Here are my pics

The day started with a bit of guage 1 electric running, a bit different to the usual G scale American stuff

Finally, Lesley K and Lady Sarah again
I did take a bit of video, but it is most likely to end up on my 2010 steamup highlights vid at the end of the year...

More lovely pictures, looks like the killer bunny enjoyed himself.
