Today I found myself at a small NWAG steamup at one of the rarer visited lines, the Stanwix Light Railway in Carlise. It was a fantastic day for taking photos, and what follows is only a small selection of some rather nice ones I took. Funny the NWAG can get a sunny day in November, and yet stuggle to sometimes in July!!!

Sir Luke, the Jamod with high speed and haulege capacities, which achieved a large mileage over the day

Can you tell what it is yet?

LMSjools Merlin Hunslet, also enjoying the low sun

I said that Jamod had a high haulege capacity....
Image
PTLRsam gave a couple of his Archangels a run out, this is Sgt Murphey at the internediate station
Image
The resident Roundhouse Billy made a welcome return to service, seen here passing the Waterfall
Image
PTLRcecil brought Gussie, seen at the other end of the circuit
Image
As well as Urien, I brought along my Superior for a (possible!) last run in maroon
Image
PTLRsam also ran his Archangel Darjeeling B-class
Image
Then the Archangel locos teamed up with stunning effects....
I might post a few more pics, indeed choosing which to post on the forum was really hard!
Many thanks to our hosts Geoff and Yvonne for a great day and for all the food provided. Thanks from me should also go to LMSjools for giving me a lift to and from Carlise

Lovely photos, thanks for sharing them.

Can I ask my usual question, please: how does it all fit together, what's the overall layout plan?

Right, this one is a dog bone shape, basically an elogated oval. There are a couple of cross overs on the double track section and one of the loops has a turning line incorporated as well but this is rarely used. There is a small steaming bay on one of the loops but it really isn't big enough for NWAG sized trains!
