First MHLR Steam Up for 2011.

Post by mhlr » Mon Jan 03, 2011 10:00 pm

First time trains had run on the MHLR this year. Sam from the STT, Micheal from the LLR (llr on here), and Reece from the yet to be built railway, all came for a run.

Image
First train of the day was just my lil Rapier running round with some wagons to test the track, for 1/2 hour.

Linda ready to come off shed.

Image
As well as this Quarry-esk Janet.

Image
The STT turned up and ran a R/C faller.

Image
The Mike ran his Ragleth. Still not run in, so didn't run as smoothly as hoped.

Image

Image

Image
Then the Janet ran.

Image
And then Linda.

Image
'Welsh Pony' from the STT.

Video to come, if the file format is works this time.

Looks great. I love that Janet (I think it's a thing with me & oscillators :lol: ). I've got a definite aim in my life now. To save up for my Mosh Mobile & head down to Cornwall. What an aspiration :lol:

Excellent photos the reflected rapier looks better than the real one :D
I must get one one day. your open passenger stock looks fantastic but you could really do with passengers to clutter its perfect lines.

Had to learn my way around Sony Vegas Movie Studio to make this, being the only thing compatable with my camera's file types, but at least its in 1080p HD!

<object width="853" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2n8oJ5TkxXM?fs ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2n8oJ5TkxXM?fs ... 2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="853" height="505"></embed></object>

Was thinking Penrhyn lining at some point. Maybe do it back to front, so it's 'Penryn' from down near here :lol:
