Evening at the Pool End Garden Railway

Post by laalratty » Wed Jun 24, 2009 12:16 pm

Last night me, LMSjools and Pedro de Hooton of the SLR south went to Barrow for a small steamup at the Pool End Garden Railway, the line belonging to the former Mr NWAG, otherwise known as PGRDave. Here are some pics

Thanks to Dave for a great evening, and Jool's for the transport :)

I wonder who regauged that from 45 to 32 recently?!?! Trala-la-la-la-la-la-laa! Its not my fault accucraft got the dimples slightly wrong!

Wish i'd been able to make it, but unfortunately, of all nights I had to work til 10 instead of half 8, the night of a steam up would be it! Looks like you had fun! Great pics ratty!
