The NWAG invade a LAG steamup

Post by laalratty » Sun Jul 04, 2010 9:47 pm

Today was the annual Lancashire Area Group meeting at an unamed line at Rishton, near Blackburn (SLRmidge has previously refered to it as the Rishton Riviera Light Railway, this name was a figment of his imagination :lol: ) It was a good do, nearly up to NWAG standards but the weather really had it in for us, a couple of properly torrential showers had us soaked to the skin. Here are some pics
Image
Before the rain, Blackbird the Baguley from the SLR north
Image
Kittiwake on the high level section
Image
A very nice model of Prince, not sure of maker though. Despite obviously being quite old, it failed because of its bang up to date 2.4GHz radio system....
Image
Urien on the triangle
Image
Lady of the Lake in front of what is normally a stunning view. Alas we couldn't see it today for most of the time!
Image
Double heading Baguleys after the PTLR staff had arrived
Image
Accucraft Earl during one of the torrential showers
Image
Weird Double Fairlie with the Muddledale camera wagon, this will probably produce a video for youtube
Image
PTLRcecil brought his little Oscillator built from Mike Chaney parts, Jenny
Image
Lightlined Roundhouse Darj
Image
Jenny and Urien, with the Leeds Liverpool canal just visible behind (To Liverpool on the left, to Leeds on the right)
Image
Suddenly the rain stopped and the sun came out, Jenny and Urien again
Image
Finally, PTLRsam brought the coal fired Yeo out yet again, wafting the smell of coal smoke across the garden
Many thanks to our hosts

Aye, good stuff :) I particularly like the wet-weather shot of The Earl. Rain is difficult to photograph in but it can produce some very atmospheric results.

Much better cropped Christopher!

That shot is good, but the one of the Baguleys is awsome.

Aye your right Will, quite an improvement although I really can't be bothered playing round with pics, however much it would improve them!  :roll:

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, that even beats my railway's background!

Super pics Laal, somehow the rain gives it a really nice atmosphere photographically - probably more Welsh-ish!

The 2nd and 3rd photos are just awesome!! Really cool background to the railway, and excellent photos from both of you!

Looks like METHSNIFFER attended then?

Not as far as I'm aware! The Ffestiniog stuff belongs to some LAG members (the guys that did a lot of the mechanical stuff on the Timpdon Lake Railway)
I thought you might all like to see some pics sent to me by PTLRsam...

Image
PTLRcecil carries on regardless whilst everyone else came indoors due to a torrential shower!

Image

Image
LMSjools went out to join him for some reason!

Image
However for cecil it was "Have umbrella, will steam up engine" :lol:
One other thing to note, I will be putting together a video for this steamup in the next week or so

Ah, ok, just looked like very similar stuff to what we've seen on here i.e. the flying bench with the canopy on.
