Good photos and a nice little video there.
The Potting Shed (TPS) did manage a couple of laps before things got very silly.


I blame NWAG for my double heading, it's irresponsible showing such activities to manics with more than 1 loco.

I did find it quite amusing that my phone's camera focuses on Minnie more than TPS!

And finally a couple of (thankfully short) videos of the unusual working.

It seems to be becoming a common thing this, Millies needing rescuing or banking by other locos, Gwydion from the ANLR is an example, Britomart always ends up helping it out!





Has anyone seen my coat before Laalratty appears?

I don't think James is very observant, that millie was quite obviously pushing the Bluebottle wannabe . Also, that is quite simply the weirdest double header I've ever seen, you've flown right past NWAG insanity levels! (by the way two members of this forum have double headed a Accucraft NGG16 and a mamod in the past, which I still think isn't as mad as that pairing)

I actually don't know! It was just there, so I took a pic, didn't even notice that until you spotted it
