Garden Railway Forum

Back in December 06, a few of our local 16millers got together for a Steam up, and for the first hour it hammered it down. Didnt stop Cecil going out and running a train tho! He's Hardcore! I believe it was at this meeting that the North West Area Group was sort of Officially formed. But what has this got to do with anything I hear you cry...

..well the other night I was conducting a virus scan, and my screensaver kicked in. I've got it set to play a slide show of all piccies in the My Pictures folder. Amongst them were some piccies from this steam up that I had forgotten I had taken, so I have decided to share some of them here with you. Included amongst them are locos belonging to at least 4 of this forums members, possibly another 1 or 2, i'm not sure!

Enjoy!

Wow, those are lovely pics, the Garratt and the Wren made me LMFAO!!!!!!!!

I do like the reverser on your mamod. Thanks Bungle!

Nice piccies, I remember it well...doesn't time fly

Great pics Bungle thanks for shareing, though is that your YDG hauling SLRmidge's really heavy Vale of Rheidol coaches? I Liked the Wren and the garratt as well!

I think so! Its definitely YDG, but couldnt tell you who the coaches belong to, but as the comment above and the piccies prove, SLRmidge was there. Were they yours SLRmidge?

Hey, my two mamods are there. And correction bungle80a, it wasn't december, it was November, and the line was up in Carilse.

Correction
You destroyed bungles Mamod that day!
And oh yes I did get wet.

WHY IM I CONSTANTLY BEING CALLED A MAMOD DESTROYER!

Hey, that gives me an idea for a cool nickname.

Matthew Py, destroyer of mamods.

I personally prefer...

" I am Matthew Pye, the MAMOD DESTROYER!"

Once again Matthew, I am only joking. Please dont take me too seriously. As cecil has pointed out elsewhere, I do tend to get a little silly from time to time! And yes I know where the steam up was, but didnt say due to anonimity of the line host! And yes it was November, I just had my pics from Nov and Dec in the same folder, called 'December' funnily enough!
