Clatterbach Valley Light Railway
Re: Clatterbach Valley Light Railway
And we have managed some running, including steam and the smell of burning meths! OK, it's not the most accomplished bit of railway modelling (or indeed photography) ever, but it happened and it was good. New Binnie skips in action too, and a trial of a new location for the signalbox.
Re: Clatterbach Valley Light Railway
For me it's the sight of a train that's running on a line that is so great about this hobby, so don't think you haven't achieved anything because you have. And as for the quality of photographs, we can't all be David Baileys or Lord Snowden's. So well done..

Re: Clatterbach Valley Light Railway
Well said Rod. It looks like it was a fun day, and that's the only thing that matters.

Re: Clatterbach Valley Light Railway
Thanks for the positive comments!
I didn't manage any decent still photos of the Mamod really (and the fire was out and steam exhausted by the time I took the one above, not that taking pictures was the aim of the exercise) and I do feel a bit in awe of the achievements of some who post here...
But absolutely: the idea was to enjoy it with those members of the family who were interested, and that was achieved.

Re: Clatterbach Valley Light Railway
Thats the whole idea for most of us CSL. Enjoying our lines and what we run on them is very satisfying for us. Like mentioned, don't feel any pressure to put studio quality photos on the forum. Any kind is just fantastic for us...

The station platform is multi-purpose!

That looks extremely risky if somebody shuffles that seat!

An attempt at rescuing the embankment from the buttercups (compare with 16th June last year, and then with the first post in this thread)...
... and an improvement below the line (compare to 22nd September last year)...
