Butterley Beyer Peacock day

Post by Pendo Pilot » Mon Apr 11, 2011 10:59 am

More W&L loco's than the W&L.....

Great weather & good company made it another superb day at Butterley (deep in the midland territory). So what to do, run lots of western stuff to make things better.. :D

First of is this fella, looked a lot like some meths burning, manual only midland type I know. But obviously this can't of been him running an RC W&L Countess & Earl in GWR livery.

So Beyer Peacocks then...

W&L no's 1 & 2

Image
CVLR's No 8(23) ontop of W&L no's 1 & 2

PMSL.... :twisted:

I think we actually all said those things for real on the day as well..

I never got a real chance to chat on the day, too caught up taking the pi$$ out of Greg & talking Innisfail tramway with another fella.

Lovely pics as well...

It was my fault... Spending as much time as I do under the 25kv I seem to hold residual voltage...Matt was just making sure I didnt static shock anyone. :oops: :roll: :shock: :D

Still it's a better side effect than my old ATW mates who drive ERTMS fitted 158 units. Those guys have to sit over a doppler style radio thingy that gives off radiation that can affect sperm production.... :roll: :roll: :shock: :shock: :evil:
