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.

He also brought his Roundhouse Blanche.

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.
The hosts exquisite Wrightscale Baldwin tractor.
Chris' Hunslet 'Winifred...
...complete with a long rake of slate wagons.
'What might have been'. The hosts 'Lyn' in the background with 'Peaslake' awaiting her next turn.
