Impromptu steam up at Mr. Petch's

Post by laurence703 » Wed Oct 02, 2013 9:48 pm

I've had a good evening running my Superior on the Ames Light Railway this evening. Thanks to Luke for inviting me to give the Superior a good run before a major thrash session next week.

Here's some photos:

unfortunately Superior is a bit big to go around one of the loops so we top and tailed Superior and Lady Anne on 11 coaches and ran end to end :) This was great fun...
No one expects the SPANISH ACQUISITION!!!

Was great to have Laurence visit! And here are some photos I took, not quite as good as Laurence's but we will have a short video to follow soon hopefully!

Caught in the act! Polishing!

And there she is! A marvellous looking loco! :)

Cackler looks on as the visitor prepares to show what she can pull.

Finally, The Lady Anne pulls into Upper Ames with a 6 coach IOM rake - she did manage the full 11 LGBs/IOMs on her own for a few laps!

Again, a great afternoon was had! Thanks for joining me Laurence - always a pleasure :)
