January Blues Steam Up on the SLR

I decided to have a 'steam up' today to rid us of the January blues (all blue locos were banned from running). Considering the weather, which was on the chilly side of freezing, we had a good turn out. Amongst others there were PTLRcecil, LMSJools & Laalratty. Some pics of the afternoon......

And a couple of pics for SillyBilly.................................

The Taliesin ran beautifully & was apparently only its second run since being purchased by Mr M.

An enjoyable afternoon, nice to see all who were there and yes the Taliesen ran extremely well.

Many thanks for hosting another Steamup Ian.

Nice pics

It's great to see a Taliesin at work, it certainly looks like a beautiful model. Really needs lining to finish it off though...

Some very nice pics there ptlrcecil & laalratty, especially of that TALIESIN.

Oh yes. That taliesin was a show stopper. The pictures really do not do it justice, it was strong as an ox and ran like a swiss watch.

Same happy chappy who owns the archangel double fairlie that turned up at PTLRfest a couple of years back. I do know his name but you know how some people feel about real names and the internet.
