York 18 March

Farewell to the Fowler rail bus as I'm selling it at Peterborough, along with my Swift Sixteen coach & IP Engineering type 2 quarryman's coach. Hopefully they'll help to pay for what I hope to get at the AGM! It was a good turn out today with various locos on all three lines. There was a very interesting vertical boiler loco on the 32mm line, I think it's the first I've seen that hasn't got oscillating cylinders. There was also a home made loco on a skip chassis. Some of the regulars appearing on the 16mm were the Roundhouse Jack, Sandy River, Silver Lady & Ste's George.

It's amazing what you can do with a Binnie skip chassis!

Photos can be cruel, the Fowler & type 2 need some attention before Pboro.

Unfortunately I don't know too much about this beaut, one of the only things I do know is that it's meths fired

The Fowler coped very well with this, and most importantly she hasn't shredder her gears!

River Ankh parked up once I'd had enough.

The line is open to visitors, as long as you enter the garden railway running record then there shouldn't be any problem.
This page will give you more details.

Ta - I'll bear that in mind! One thought - as this is a Model Engineer's track, do they insist on boiler certificates?

I haven't seen anyone being asked to show one. According to the website if a boiler is pressed to over 3 bar, which I believe to be around 40psi, then you have to show boiler certs.
