Sherwood Oaks Light Railway
Wow! Its been quite a while since I last posted on this thread. The plants have all grown again and the line is greener than ever.
With a few day off work, the sun out and jobs in the workshop complete I had a wander out to do some weeding and to boil some water.
As a few of you may know i have aquired a Riverdale Elke loco. I must admit I am most impressed. She was rostered out today burnning a little 'Swanwick Shed' coal for effect.
Just before I steamed up the post man delivered a new Accucraft Quarry Hunslet. They really are nicely detailed! It was decided in light of events to try it before i put pen to paintwork. Unfortunatly it is suffering from the steam blowing straight up the chiney. Accucraft have been contacted and it will be mended before returning for lining.

I confess to having been rather smitten with the idea of a Riverdale "Irene" as they were advertising at Peterborough (the new one based on "Katie")... not entirely sure how to finance that, mind you.
