Silverdale Light Railway (North) 4th Anniversary steamup
Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2009 8:55 pm
SLRmidge had another steamup on his SLR north today, and as I helpfully pointed out as he held a 3rd anniversary steamup last September, this time it must be the 4th anniversary 
Here are some pics
Gwydion crosses the rickerty Herversham viaduct (locos have been ignoring the 5mph speed limit over this bridge for 4 years!)
A bit further along the line, Gwydion is seen at Heversham junction
Gwydion soon found itself playing host to Silverdale's most famous resident, the Killer bunny (as if it needs an introduction
) however it was in a much more tame mood today and was even sighted having a footplate ride with driver Rodger, although the bunny was looking at Rodger in a funny way
David William was doing a push pull service between various stations, despite an attempt by Tibby to upset things...
Not just once...
And not even twice, but three times! (but I only got photos of 2, I was too busy laughing for the third!)
And finally an amazing miracle of gigantic proportions...
For Bluebottle performed a magnificent, feat, a feat unknown to this "things" life so far....
Fot it managed to pull this train all the way from Heversham to Silverdale Road including up the fearsome gradient from the bottom of the garden. Even SLRmidge couldn't believe that it managed it.
And to prove that it really did it...

Thanks to SLRmidge for holding the steamup, at near to the last minuite.
