One brilliant evening
Posted: Sat Aug 20, 2011 3:28 pm
Yesterday I was at a mate's garden line, but it is a bit different to what we are used to...
It's dual gauge 5" and 7 1/4", with full size signalling controlled by the lever frame from what was the Lancing Carriage Works signal cabin. You'll also see a Roundhouse 'Taliesin' and 'Blanche' running on the G Scale circuit in the video at the bottom of this post.
Mike attending to his 5" gauge Hunslet 'Golly Gosh', which was made by the person who does the comic strip in the Model Engineer magazine.
'Midge' ready to have her fire lit. The length of hose sticking out of the tank is the injector water feed!
'Jingo' is based on a Kerr Stuart prototype, now my favourite of Dave's engines.
'Midge' waits for the road in the one and only station on the line.
'Golly Gosh' basks in the evening sun.
A couple of shots in the dark now, they didn't turn out how I wanted but I thought them to be worthy of inclusion.
'Midge' on shed after having her fire dropped.
We kept 'Jingo' in steam until late, about half past 10 I think!
Now for the vid... A driver's eye view, firstly on 'Midge' then 'Jingo' going in the other direction. Then lastly we put some twigs and leaves into 'Jingo''s firebox to create some sparks...
