I'm not sure to be honest, It was a lovely smooth runner though!

Some nice shots there, ypu certainly had good weather for it! The grey boxcab diesel looks interesting, as does the small yellow tank engine...

Isn't the yellow tank loco a modified Archangel Sammy? Minnie ran well, but she did disgrace herself by derailing crossing the lift out bridge & coming to rest against some crash barriers.

A Standard gauge interloper.

This vintage Caledonia was steamed up, but had an unfortunate habit of derailing.


Since Harrogate I've painted the tank fillers & handrails which, in my opinion, does make her look better.

I don't think I can comment on very brightly painted locos & rolling stock any more!

Minnie did sound good hauling this

The Swift Sixteen box van was very pleasant to build, with no extra work required, no plastic roofs & no ungainly joins!

A mixed train crosses the bridge Minnie derailed coming off & passes the crash barriers that saved her from a major ground fault.
