Christmas Cracker?

Post by Tony Bird » Mon Dec 06, 2010 12:15 pm

Hi,

A Cracker in seasonal guise.

Yesterday was the CMES Santa Special Open Day.

Image

First clean the track.

Then steam up.

Getting warmer steam rising off fence as well as engines.

Image
Image

And off to go!

Some customers

End of a long cold day.

Regards Tony.

Looks like a great (if a tad chilly) day was had. Some lovely pics.
That LNER Spamcan looks superb, even if it is an A4 :D :D

Must visit this place when I get a chance as it looks excellent.
Tommy Dodd may have an ARS key but I have a TASS button & a Rope Ladder, just like pirates, except the TASS button bit.

I love the pub style sign! A nice little trick to entice.

I AM building one, just seems to take me a long time... I'm too lazy. :roll: :lol:

Excellent, looks like you guys had some seasonal fun! We lack that sort of thing down here, all there is is the Xmas dinner!
