Garden Railway Forum

...to the MHLR (well, his sister's at Lands End too!). Today, we ran loads of 16mm services along with Micheal from the LLR, and tomorrow, we plan to run Bluebell at Callestick.

So, here's some pictures...


First of all, some modification to the tender was in order (using drinking straws to stop the axles falling out) to get it onto the "right" gauge.


Our loco line up for the day.


'Annie', or River Whatsitcalled as he likes to call it.


Nice weather, flowers starting to come out which is a good sign.


Like I said, good weather.


'Nother veiw. The whistle I recently fitted doesnt work, I had my doubts, it does draw water up from the sight glass. Anyone fitted a whistle to a Willi? Where's the best take off for the valve?


Mr B's Vincent at the top of Maenporth Hill being used as a winch for the funicular railway.


Another shot of the funicular railway.


I REALLY need to fit R/C to Bertie...


Make Andy squirm again.


Another blue saddle tank! Can see Mr B's 16mm scale bunting in the background


Nice shot.


Nice shot 2.


Mike's Showmans.


Old Smokey.


Mike's Feanor and his flatbed behind my roller he was running for me.


There is a loco in that shot somewhere.


Mawnan Junction.


Andy was supposed to be coming too, but apparently Boilertite wouldn't bring him

nice one pete, very sad i wasnt able to come, (yes because the old one wouldnt take me, despite things)

hopefully shall come later in the year.

Nice photo's Looks like you had a great day - it's enough to make you think that winter's almost over and the Spring Timetable should be put into use

I had that sort of weather yesterday, hence why I had my first steam gala in over 2 years without any failures! but it then rained later on, but i carried on! may put pics later if i can be bothered!

(I should really find out when i'm coming down to St Ives shouldn't i?)

Nice pics though! especially the telephoto views!

Hope you don't mind Pete, but I love this shot - loads of NG atmosphere! I've "cropped" it a bit and stuck it in my favourites

may put pics later if i can be bothered!

We Want To See The Pics!!!!!!!

Thanks for the great comments guys

Greg, that shot I was rather pleased with... It's good when I occassionally get super shots like that, finding those special places to get them.

Nice pics, looks like a fun time, damn you people with half terms!
