A Grand day out to the Stanwix Light Railway

[laalratty]

The Morecambe members of the NWAG had a grand day out at the Stanwix Light Railway, in the far north of the NWAG's area. A beautiful garden, with a lovely railway, that could be run as as dumb bell like mine or as a circuit, and measuring at a scale 0.6 miles long (thanks to the LMS dynonometer car). Here are some pics

Guillimot from the SLR north with the Vale of Rheidol rake

The SLR is a level line, so I thought it safe to bring Caradoc, however it is in the repare que once again, thanks to a sheared rear coupling hook (the front one went last year)

Eden, from the SLR south with a train in front of the waterfall

Sir Luke the Jamod was really punching above its weight today, by pulling ever longer trains

The resident Accucraft Superior is an engine of slight fame, as its previous owner was none other then Tag Gorton. It's is now matched with a tender to carry the radio control gear.

And finally, since it is the middle of August, SLRmidge decided it was time for his summer holidays. Here he is dozing in the sun
Many thanks to SLR Geoff and Yvonne for a great afternoon and for the food. Imay put a video on youtube, but I could do with some more clips. I do have a clip for Jools to put on youtube, taken from Lady of the Lake's tender

Nice pics laalratty, looks like it really was a "Grand Day Out"! Same length as my line too, mines 0.6 of a scale mile! Has 'Lady Yvonne' (or the green Superior) got a new tender?

Many thanks to Geoff and Yvonne for a Fab afternoon, enjoyable running of trains, tasty food and even the weather was beautiful.

Has 'Lady Yvonne' (or the green Superior) got a new tender?

Yes, just completed this last couple of weeks, the other tender it was running with previously usually runs with his Roundhouse Billy, which is out of action at the moment for some reason
