Roundhouse Beddgelert

Post by williamfj » Fri Jul 24, 2015 2:10 pm

Earlier this week I purchased a new, lined R/C Beddgelert, while I was after something more generic I've always liked the look of the big Hunslet and when the opportunity to buy an unsteamed example with 3 NWNGR coaches I'd be a fool to turn it up.

The NWNGR lives again! ;)

Stood next to the forlorn No.13, whose bogeys were a constant source of trouble throughout the day.

She's an absolute stunner.... you should be proud of your find!
All of the stock looks good, especially with such a beautiful locomotive.

Thanks Peter, hopefully I'll get a chance to run her this weekend as it's a long wait until York's next running day!

Lovely loco and train, you've done well there!

I'm not superstitious at all, but here again we have number 13 cropping up as a problem.....

Thanks guys, I'll worry about No.13 if the bogeys that have given years of good service start playing up now! :lol:
