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..

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

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

Plus some other stuff ran.....

Fettling!!

"Chuff Chuff Chuff"...............Nope.... psss psss psss pssss psss

The Western man with his GWR loco & RC.....Oh & silenced Countess.

Hope you don't mind me "borrowing" a few to stick in my album!?

Cheers'm'dears, the ones on here will do just fine!

PMSL....

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.

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....

LOL,
But I shut off whenever I see that combination of letters..It only means the wrecking of decent stuff & the replacement with horrible YING YING YING things..

Shame on you for that hat!!
