Dolgoch 150 - Fletcher Jennings Gathering - Garden Rail Gala

Post by dougrail » Wed Jul 06, 2016 12:08 am

Garden Railway Gala officially open....yours truly commissioned by Llechfan to do the chalkwork ;)
Image

5inch Gauge represented by the newly repainted and lined 'Rose of the Torride' - cracking job done by Berry Hill Works :cool: [Matt also had brought his lovely Hunslet, alas I had no photos]
Image
Image

The Home fleet was represented by 'Cadno' with the GWR Express rake
Image
Image


Image

Matt's Quintus also out for a run :)
Image

Image

'Swordbreaker' on trials puffing up and down the yard - cylinders in need of their two-yearly MOT and a hot box prevented the loco from running any service trains. Wheelsets and cylinders have been dispatched post-haste to RWM to look at.

Glyn Valley Tram

Quarry Hunslet in 16mm!

This Mamod ran rather well - an earlier MSS, it had the glandcap cylinders and decent wheels, enabling it to trot nicely round the branchline inner loop :)

TR Vintage train with both vintage locos..!
Image

This was an interesting model made from RH parts -a 'what if' of whether the TR had as proposed, purchased a Hunslet "Eva" class for their motive power issues of the 1960s and 1970s. Judging by the model, it would, aesthetically, have made a far more attractive loco! However, I understand that the Irish Turf Board loco that became no.7 was 100x cheaper than a new Eva kit...

This RWM Janet was finally found a new home off ANG's stall -and instantly steamed up.
Image
Image

Upstarted by a Lawley...now if only...this demonstrated "what could Have Been" ;)
Image

Image
Image
Image
Image
The Lawley was seen to run well. However, its own slung looks now doesn't appeal as much to me as it used to - at best, it would have been a freelance 'what if' of GWR Narrow Gauge. Think I did best by cashing in at TR 150 2015....:cool:

This modern Mamod was lurking in the branchline depot...

Looks like a grand time was had by all. I wish I could have been there but had a wedding to go to.
