A sunny steam up on a... Tuesday?!

Post by mhlr » Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:28 pm

Yep, went down to my friend Ian's Lizard Light Railway (the most southerly garden railway in the UK), before he dismantles it all to move up to East Devon  :(  At least the weather was good, instead of the usual misty damp weather in previous steam ups down there. So, here's some pics, and a vid later.

Sadly, that's the last time the LLR will ever see any trains, ever again.  :cry:

Nice pics Pete, though what a shame that railway is closing and relocating, I know you've had some ace pics from there in the past

What a superb looking line & great pics of it as well. Such a shame it's closing. Then again part of the hobby seems to be building new bits so it might be good to start over again.

Excellent stuff! - and the weather is set fair for the whole Easter period! :D
(and we're travelling for most of it! :cry: )

Great shame about the loss of the line, but I'm sure the replacement will be even better!

Very nicely done- particularly the poignant final shot.
