From the Little Morecambe steam Railway, David William got another run out, this time with my Welsh Highland carriages
The Poolend Garden Railway sent their entire steam fleet, including this!! This, as it happens, is a Mamod Brunel vertical boilered loco, something I never expected to see. It appeared to be doing ok, although it did seem to be a bit all or nothing and it probably needs a few hours of running in
Archangel Sammy, Accucraft Leader and Duncan the Billy
Sammy's vintage train, leaving a trail of meths fumes in its wake
Duncan and a nice long rake, much longer then usual for a Ingleton Mountain Railway loco
So you want vintage, yes.......?
I think Sammy looks quite charming going along the background there, oh you want to know what the big blue thing is?
The 7 1/4 gauge loco, if you hadn't already guessed, is Josephene from Majors Railway in Coniston, having been purchased by "The Josephene preservation group" aka some NWAG members. It was on display before being removed for dismantling for overhaul. If all goes to plan, the loco will be up and running again at various 7 1/4 railways within 2 years
Back to 16mm and a wing tank Excelsior, that I believe is a Wrightscale model visiting from the Coniston Railway
Meanwhile on the 45mm, some remarkable things were also happening, such as this lineup of Caradocs in each of the production colours (the black one did start red though)
Yes, that is my Caradoc actually having a run and in a minor miricle, actually running quite well!!
Caradocs aplenty
LMSjools also bought along Merlin
I finished off with running Taliesin, seen passing Primrose the PTLR's blue Caradoc
Primrose and Caradoc pass
Thanks as usual to the staff at the Fairfield Railway
An excellent group effort guys, and great to see Josephene attending the steam-up (although I know of another steam-up this weekend that was overwatched by a larger scale loco 
)
