Garden Railway Forum

The PTLR and PTLR north held its first joint steamup today, so for the first time members of the NWAG group could enjoy running on railways in 2 different gardens, a strange experiance, although the whole run is now 1.2 scale miles (measured with LMSjool's dynonometer car). I took Lady Anne for another running in turn and as there was space in the box, I took Gwydion as well. Here are some pics

Mine and Bungle's new engines, the equivilent engines of Roundhouse and Accucraft
Unfortunatly not everything went smoothly...

It appears that a out of guage wheel caused this big crash, luckily no damage was done to the engine. Alas, the video for Things that go wrong at steamups part 4 has already been put together (coming soon!! ).
Anyway, a big thanks to all at the PTLR for a great afternoon

Lovely stuff, apart from the crash pic !

Sorry to be a nag Pauly, but in future, could you please delete all but the picture you're quoting from the quote, otherwise it can get quite straining on people's 'scrolling' finger, thanks.

A few of my photos of a most enjoyable afternoon.......

The carriages had been wood stained, with dark oak or something like
