Very nice photo's chaps of what turned out to be a really nice day, and a good turn-out
Sorry I was just too tired to take my camera out of its bag - I certainly wasn't too tired to enjoy the visit!
Thanks to Sir Haydn's delivery on the day, the next time MYFANWY apears, she'll have her W&LLR running numbers on!

A bit grey & wet today, with a lower turnout - but I did take my camera again, but actually used it today
BLODWEN heads a W&L freight up on the dual gauge track
a better view of the consist
which BRITOMART took over when the bertie came in for gas!
Sorry, no photo - we had no 16mm scale sand and the the sight of James going round the now wet & greasy rails ahead of the train with the track rubber was like something from the World Curling Championships! I could just about hear him "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" so I had bad camera shake
Here's BRITOMART at rest
And life's a gas now for the ex-alcoholic OGWEN. Fully converted from meth's firing thanks to Sir Haydn making me up a gas pipe!
Which leads nicely to Sir Hayn's J B EARLE
sharing the 32mm track with Tom's LAWLEY,
actually catching it at one point and making the LAWLEY look small!
Later NOEL (it was a Christmas present), another Bertie arrived
along with PEGGY, a Baldwin in need of Sir Haydn's attentions running-wise. Still a lovely looking loco!

Cheers for the pics! I didn't get any myself, decided to travel light so only took Brit with me!
However cleaning the tracks was worth it, until the rain came, then the whole train came to a stop whilst Brit's wheels were spinning round helplessly to no availNarrow Minded:75174 wrote:

A band of lost 16milers descended upon the lands on Butterley today, which turned into a thoughly enjoyable day out!
Snowdon (aka Damian these days) was in use
and also just posing
Who put that blasted tree in the way?!
Brit came out for a play
Which turned into a rather long run!
Swordbreaker also came out for a run
Whilst Brit still plodded on to no avail...
Blodwen seen in the sidings after hauling the Xmas Specials

Some great captures there Laurence from a day of "Fire & Ice
Here's a few I managed, not comprehensive, but I think I got most on the vid to follow
Here's a selection from more than a few Mamods,
Lady Of Sherwood adding to the meth's fumes
and this little Lister that followed me home (thanks again Laurence!)
