The Morecambe members of the NWAG have been making good use of the exceptionally late summer weather this year. Last night we spent an hour at SLRmidge's running trains for some friends of his.

The cinema at Waterslack village was in full swing

Kittiwake with the evening train at Eaves Wood

The nightly ghost train then passed by

I took my Baguley with its working headlight, and a few coaches. Here it passes Waterslack village

Steam glow on Heversham viaduct

SLRmidge had fitted flickering lights into his Isle of Man carriages, which were great apart from the fact that jolts in the track switched them off and the had a habit of falling off the ceilings!

Caeronwy Castle lights the overgrown tracks

Whilst today I decided to have the first all ANLR double header for the first time in 2 years, with a combination I've never had

Gwydion leads Urien into Afallen, Urien could be pretty much shut off for the down run, with Gwydion happily pulling the 9 carriage (equivilent) train and Urien

Emerging from the tunnel

Not a bad length train, 6 carriages, an open bogie wagon and four 4 wheel wagons

Storming up to the summit

Backlit at Afallen

Finally, when putting the stock away I decided to give my little IP engineering Punch a run. It dosn't get out often since it might well be slower then bluebottle, although it has more grunt

Nice pics....

Yep, nice pics - and the weather's set to stay 'til the weekend
