SHR Autumn Gala 2008

Post by SillyBilly » Mon Oct 27, 2008 9:32 pm

Hello,
Today laalratty, his father and myself had fun playing trains with his Coaches, Gwydion & Baguley, then as they left MoelygestLR turned up with his Lady Anne and I.P Jack. At the same time I ran my friend's Baldwin which is staying for the week, it looked great on laalratty's coaches.

Great video, I really wish I could of stayed into the evening but even setting off when we did, I only got home at quater to 8 (crash on the M6 at Thelwall, and subsiquent traffic). The Baguleys looked great in the woods- pitty about Isabelle's driver (pics tommorow of a rather shocking incident :lol: )
Thanks for having me, dad and mum round :D

Well here are my pics of my visit to the SHR
Image
Gwydion, which visited with 3 of my carriages, all based of Welsh Highland or Ffestiniog railway prototypes
Image
The Baldwin, which belongs to one of William's friends (I belive he's a forum member but doesn't come on often)
Image
Couldn't resist doing an imitation of the Welsh Highland in the 1920's with the Baldwin and my coaches
Image
We finished off with running our Accucraft Baguleys, both running with the RCS control system

The sepia photo of the Baldwin is lovely.

Talking about the Baguley's, I got the screwdriver set out last night to sort the sound troubles switched it on and it had fixed itself! So instead I tweaked the engine noise and re-programmed the controller so that it goes faster and has brake release, sadly the horn is still refusing to work.

Tonight I did a night photography session with the Baldwin, the steam effects were awsome thanks to the icy tempreature, having looked through the photos I know what I need to do next time I have one, close the cab roof straight away and never use the flash!

Not always, mum occasionally brings her camera along, like once last year at LMSjools and came back with some nice night time shots, although this time it was a bit too cold

If you do anything make sure you watch right to the end of the credits, it's good, you'll get the joke. Photos tomorrow.

Nice vid, was funny today when SLRmidge popped round (just after I had finished fettling the ex SHR track in my quarry) and asked if something horrendous had happened to Tag Gorton :lol: , although I must admit i don't get the joke with the music (yes I know, Christopher years out of date again etc etc) :dontknow:  :scratch:

Neither do I, I just chose it because it looked good with the credits rolling.
