Oh and cracking pics, James.
I was down there early on Sunday (some one has to bring the milk for your tea!) and also on Saturday. It was busy then but I think most people had turned out to see the 'Duchess' making her first public appearance since her re-build and new coat of paint. She looks like my old Hornby-Dublo 'Duchess'


Don't forget, folks: Oscillator and Vintage weekend May 5th, 6th and 7th (it's a Bank Holiday weekend) featuring Furness Railway no.20 hauling the Vintage stock on the big railway.
It should be a splendid sight!
So let's see all those Mamods and old treasures!

It's the day after the show at Peterborough, a change in the weather has been forecast for later in the week, so the only sensible thing to do is GET OUT AND RUN SOMETHING! :D

Pendo Pilot and Capt Sparrow made the trip up to visit....

Image

Sorry Doug - but it was there so I took a photo.....

Image

And Ogwen was on trials with a replacement meths burner (thanks Jack!)

Video to follow ;)
