Silverdale Light Railway (N) Spring Steamup
Yesterday, SLRmidge threw open the rails of his Silverdale Light Railway (North) to the whole of the NWAG, as usual held fairly early in the year before vegetation growth makes his line completely unusable (this state of affairs usually happens around the middle of June). As it was the first few trains had to push their way through the early season growth, although one of the real track trouble spots had been relaid with new track and trackbed a couple of days before. Victor Isle was nowhere to be seen (although he was believed to be continuing his efforts to get the line closed) However, there were no crashes for once and only one instance of a loco rolling on its side after a train derailed.
An Accucraft Leader, from one of the new wave on NWAG lines, the Ffew and Ffar between Railway. Alas, this line is expected to close soon due to a house move.
Simply 7/8th's Baldrick and train from our tame Preston based member.
Something a bit more familiar, Hartside from the Forest Fields Railway, we're next off there in the middle of June. FFR Mike also brought news of a further extension to his railway following land acquisition.
Leader on the barrow crossing
Taliesin calls at Waterslack
Passing the quarry siding
Taliesin starts away from Eaves Wood
Many thanks to SLR midge for a good afternoon. Next week, the return of PTLR fest!

"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

If you think I fear something as puny as a mouse, you must be even more deluded then I thought.
Just as I would expect from this inept railway, there is no indication of any improvement at all from this railway, with the exception that it appears for once that there were no crashes. Presumably this has something to do with the lack of SLR locos running.

And guess who actually does the extra work to make the line useable, and as a hint it certainly isn't SLRmidgeKeith S:100257 wrote: It must be a bit of extra work to keep the tracks clear but it looks very nice.
