Garden Railway Forum

The running day yesterday was quite busy, nice weather and half term I suppose. Offler River Ankh & Ivy were representing the RHBR, unfortunately I forgot my box of bits including lamps, chains, coupling pins, tools and it's a handy place for any bits that fall off my models! There were 2 Archangel Jacks, a Brick, Steve's George, a modified Reger Lumberjack, a 18inch Horwich works shunter, and lots more that I didn't photograph.  :roll:  My new camera won't fit in my rucksack so photos are from my phone. I've also driven steam for the first time, a 7 1/4 inch Lyn considering how accident prone I am on 16mm it's amazing nothing went wrong!
Ivy's now in the works again for a part repaint.


A vintage Archangel Brick


While I was in need of couplings I wasn't that desperate!


The Horwich shunter with a few skips.


One of 2 Archangel Jacks present.


The modified Lumberjack.


The Lyn I was driving, waiting to be loaded at the end of the day.

The Lyn was an absolute cracker, seemed to be steaming all day!


And yes the garden railway was very busy, must have been at least 15 locos on the rails at one point, with about 12 running! Chaos!

Good day none-the-less!

is that an old Winson Lyn?

I honestly don't know to be honest. But I do know that I'm glad I was driving on the (relatively) quiet 7 1/4 line if there were 12 16mm locos running though! Eee the tailbacks River Ankh would cause...

I've just revived a battery powered "blast from the past" for the Heritage section at Peterborough - pictures tomorrow!
