Very much so. And I hope that she will be delivered before Christmas to cope with the increase in Yuletide traffic expected on the K&NWLR.

Some more pics from Sunday, including a DJB L&B "Yeo" newly converted to manual, repainted and lined out by Rhos H. Works, an Archangel Little Wonder and a TME Nesta.

Very, nice.
How did you manage to get hold of Stuart Brown? I have tried many times over the last 12 months with no luck at all.

I guess I was lucky a while back. Which email are you using?

I have been ringing, I was told that he does not use email much. If you have a useable email address I would welcome it.

From Perfect World have arrived, after a suitable head-scratching period, the solution to winter traffic on the K&NWLR rack railway branch up to Stokesey Castle from Portmeirion. The summer coaches were not so much open to the elements but more like sitting on a bench while being pushed up a mountain. Better sit closer to the engine if you wanted to keep warm.

Very nice.

Look forward to seeing some video action of this steam rack railway in action soon.

Thanks. The loco was tested at a Swiss show near Bern this year, which featured a rather fine modular rack railway track, but I have not yet finished the track leading up to Stokesay Castle, though a bridge is now in place.

For the public record. Sadly, yesterday the bus attempted a "Leap of Doom", and though the lights are still on, I´ll have to find the electrical fault concerning the motor.

Many thanks. Still trying to work out which connection has got loose.
