Birch Light Railway open day

Post by MTA » Sat Jul 23, 2011 7:42 pm

I, along with thecsmann, was invited along to a fellow Amberley volunteer's line today. He was holding a Wessex NG Modellers meeting, so Chris and I were there to run the trains.

Chris brought along his recent purchase the Finescale Hunslet. One of the prettiest locos you can get 8) He also brought his Roundhouse Blanche.

I brought 'Peaslake' with me, which was lugged along on a half hour train journey and a two mile walk (from the station to the pub, then to our host!)

Unfortunately halfway through the afternoon my camera packed up, so here's what I managed to take. Chris took some as well.

'Peaslake' resting in between duties.

excellent pics Si, for a moment I thought you meant the "Birchley Light Railway" until I saw the pics, I know you play with the 10 1/4" stuff!
