As I have now finished school, I was able to spend a midweek afternoon at the Silverdale light railway of SLRmidge

No I don't know what the snowplow was doing out in June either

The train behind Gwydion was deliberate, one Talyllyn coach, one Vale of Rheidol coach then out of shot one Welsh Highland coach and my Ffestiniog observation car. As for the Superior (which is one of the ones that visited the ANLR, it is enjoying an extended stay in Morecambe for work on the radio system) it looked nice with my stock!

Looks extremely nice with your stock. Is it the engine that makes the stock or the stock that makes the engine? ;)

It was running alright, there was some glitching at the usual glitch points in Midge's garden, but a couple of times the control did go very dodgy with continuos glitching that was only stopped by turning everything off and then on again. LMSjools suspects a dodgy transmitter
