Garden Railway Forum

The last steam up of the year on this 'hilly' line took place this afternoon on the most beautiful Autumnal day anyone could wish for. The railway has once again been altered by the addition of another steep ascent/descent from one level to another!

Lovely line, bet it's alot of un to drive on

Lovely line! Love the pic of the orange Lady Anne!

Btw, is it me, or is the RH Jack loosely based on the Penrhyn Hunslets? cause it always reminds me of Blanche or Linda for some reason, or is it just me?

I think it's generally based on hunslet design features, from the front on phot I can see where you are coming from in terms of linda and blanche

Nice set of photo's from an interesting looking line! Handsome collection of loco's and rolling stock too

More pics from today from me

Enough that they're on first name terms with all the lads at the RAIB by now...




RAIB= this lot... http://www.raib.gov.uk/home/index.cfm and the site is well worth a browse, especially the accident reports in the "publications" section. If you want to know how NOT to do it, start here.

Oh no, this isn't "our lots", this is just SLR midge! The rest of us never have any derailments....

That wasn't a derailement, the carriage stayed on the rails, remember I said
