Afternoon Playing Trains
Afternoon Playing Trains
I spent a happy couple of hours yesterday with Peter Butler at his line West Wales. The rain stayed off for most of the time and allowed me a chance to get a few pictures of his spectacular line.

It looks great Jim. It's lovely to see some of the features Peter has described elsewhere appearing as part of the more general vista. It's a great looking railway and it looks like you were having a great time.
I particularly liked the biscuit siding with it's associated biscuit wharf! I bet the biscuits were gradually 'transported away' during the days proceedings!

I love the wharf ... excellent stuff.

A small but select gathering of friends, plenty of fresh coffee and even biscuits (I can't believe they appeared in the pictures!!!!!).
Always a good show of steam when Jim turns up and an opportunity to use the railway, which I have to admit is a rare thing when there is just me.
Already looking forward to the next visit.

Me too Jim, and here's one which Tom will recognise.....Big Jim:122306 wrote: I seem to have developed a liking for Wasp Stripes.
Incidentally, if there is anyone out there who would like us to promote their products in picture form on the B.U.R.P.S. we would be happy to oblige.... obviously biscuits and alcohol are top of our preferred list!!!!!

Another view of a great layout, with some brilliant locos.

Re: Afternoon Playing Trains
It is always a joy to run on Peter's line. The track is very well laid and smooth and the scenery is splendid and the hospitality is second to none.
