Then wandered out the 'Brave Little Diesels'

"My name is Earl[e]..."

At one point we had the J B Earle, a Katie, the Caradoc and the AnDel Ffion all running round the Main Line!

Now named WOLVERTON...and finding a pair of coaches that went quite well with it

Very nice photo's chaps of what turned out to be a really nice day, and a good turn-out

Sorry I was just too tired to take my camera out of its bag - I certainly wasn't too tired to enjoy the visit!

Thanks to Sir Haydn's delivery on the day, the next time MYFANWY apears, she'll have her W&LLR running numbers on!

A bit grey & wet today, with a lower turnout - but I did take my camera again, but actually used it today

BLODWEN heads a W&L freight up on the dual gauge track

a better view of the consist

which BRITOMART took over when the bertie came in for gas!
Sorry, no photo - we had no 16mm scale sand and the the sight of James going round the now wet & greasy rails ahead of the train with the track rubber was like something from the World Curling Championships! I could just about hear him "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" so I had bad camera shake

Here's BRITOMART at rest

And life's a gas now for the ex-alcoholic OGWEN. Fully converted from meth's firing thanks to Sir Haydn making me up a gas pipe!

Which leads nicely to Sir Hayn's J B EARLE

sharing the 32mm track with Tom's LAWLEY,

actually catching it at one point and making the LAWLEY look small!

Later NOEL (it was a Christmas present), another Bertie arrived

along with PEGGY, a Baldwin in need of Sir Haydn's attentions running-wise. Still a lovely looking loco!

Cheers for the pics! I didn't get any myself, decided to travel light so only took Brit with me!

However cleaning the tracks was worth it, until the rain came, then the whole train came to a stop whilst Brit's wheels were spinning round helplessly to no avail

I REALLY must get my bottom down to Butterly. Alas, I cannot drive and He who must be obeyed won't play at Taxis........anyone wanna give me a lift?

Unless Im very much mistaken (and Im sure Im not as Ive got one) Its one of Tom Coopers Steamlines Talybont/Rheidol. I think they came as a kit and powered by an Osmotor. This one does look lovely.

A band of lost 16milers descended upon the lands on Butterley today, which turned into a thoughly enjoyable day out!

Snowdon (aka Damian these days) was in use

and also just posing

Who put that blasted tree in the way?!

Brit came out for a play

Which turned into a rather long run!

Swordbreaker also came out for a run

Whilst Brit still plodded on to no avail...

That explains the wheel spins stig turned off the traction control

DolwyddelanLightRail · Post by **DolwyddelanLightRail** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:32 pm

There was traction control in the first place?

Some great captures there Laurence from a day of "Fire & Ice

Here's a few I managed, not comprehensive, but I think I got most on the vid to follow

Here's a selection from more than a few Mamods,

Lady Of Sherwood adding to the meth's fumes

and this little Lister that followed me home (thanks again Laurence!)

Looks like a case of the right kind of snow then?

It certainly gives some atmospheric pictures!
