Cheers to Greg & the other Butterley lot who were in today, had a cracking time & after quite a while without any club running time it was nice to turn some wheels on foriegn metal's once more. A quiet day that got a little busier in the late afternoon. The non tilt fitted sliver lady doing EPS speeds was rather scary & I think the owner thought he was driving a king/ Duchess/ NE/SR spam can by the speed it was doing!

Aside from that it was nice & relaxing..

No 7's first trip to butterley.

Crazy track inspection truck & Ogwen.

On the 45mm, Gregs Lady Marilyn...with newly recieved CVLR 32mm wagons.

A lot of CVLR stock in one pic.

Just plodding along nicely minding it's own business...

Weather was really nice, have even caught the sun.

Maybe I should have gone along instead of going to Neville Hill, I arrived for work at 9am, we'd finished by 11 and fell asleep for the rest of the afternoon cause we'd finished both B exams on the two powercars

and there was me thinking more bits and bobs would go on over the weekend

Quite the hectic day today - I ended up only taking a couple of photo's and a short vid (sorry I missed the Baldwin Matt

).

However, I know there were other snappers amongst the usual suspects, so I expect some photo's will follow!

Very pleasant - a nice way to finish off the day (it's 0120 as I type this). Nice to hear Gary Glitter mangled, too!

"and then there were three"

Damn! Why didn't I think of that?!

But I did think of you when I opted for "Wish You Were Here"!

Ahhh, so you didn't see me suddenly running round when I set the track on fire on the bottom loop on the lower track then?

I saw it James

Also saw the frantic attempts to put it out...!

my photos and diary will be later - it was a historic day for me

Down in the garden, something stirred....................

Oh, look - it's a train!

James and I turned up to run trains, even though it was God-awful weather - the MRC only had around 15 punters through the door!

The FFC Budup Wagon had its first run, first with Tiffany on the head end..............

.............. then with Esme and Miss Tick when an unfortunate incident rendered Tiffany a failure.

James found some fare dodgers in one of his wagons - baby snails!

........... and this is what happened to the (untreated) Budup Wagon's roof when it got wet!

We eventually gave up and went home around 1430!

............. and a short video..............................

Taking a theme from another thread

- it appears that using untreated non-scale scale timber results in out-of-scale expansion when it's exposed to non-1/19th rain!

this happens in non scale time as well

Oh! So they went home at 14.30 real time?!

I would have taken some.pictures, but it was such awful weather I was too busy either hiding underneath the 32/45mm steaming bays or in the club house whilst trying to keep the batteries and fire going in Snowdon

such awful weather

I learned (during my time in HMF) that there is no such thing as "bad weather" - you were just inappropriately dressed!

Never mind chaps, look on the bright side - all this drought means plenty of boiler water!

And plenty of spare water for putting out any fires Britomart leaves in it's wake
