The Scorton Bank Railway Spring steamup
Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2013 9:05 pm
After a quiet couple of months, the North West Area Group of the 16mm association got back into action last Saturday at the Scorton Bank Railway. SBR Arthur has made a few changes, including a new station named Wyre Bay with a long passing loop. The cool-ish conditions but with plenty of sun made for great photographic conditions, and a good turnout of members meant that there were plenty of locos too
PTLRcecil's 30762 with the SBR's new Accucraft Lynton and Barnstaple coaches
Meanwhile I went for the Welsh Highland look with Russell and my WHR carriages
Russell on the bridge
James was also in attendance with Britomart, which managed to set fire to itself and track later on and lived up to its reputation...!
The latest loco LMSjools has owned to carry the name David William, a Roundhouse Fowler
SLRmidge brought Guillimot, seen here pausing at Wyre Bay whilst Britomart awaits the road to the quarries
Looking the other way at Wyre Bay as Lyn passes by
David William passes the site of the old station, now with an slate outcrop
The Lynton and Barnstaple toys come out to play, SBR Arthur's new Lew on the left and PTLRsams coal fired Yeo on the right
Lew with a matching train
A full Vale of Rheidol train was also run, Owain Glyndwr is a new loco for Barnacle Bay Charlie whilst the stock was in a mixture of blood and custard and chocolate and cream liveries, like early 1960's Rheidol trains
Then me and Simon had the usual double header with Russell and Lyn on 12 coaches, not a bad load but they found it rather easy
Then to really overpower it, ayepad Ed's Mountaineer was added
Backlighting at Wyre Bay
More L&B with FR thunderbolt's Lyn, which lead to...
Double headed Lyns, on 14 carriages they actually found it a bit challenging
Mountaineer backlit, would be a prototypical shot if the train was chocolate and cream livery
The evening goods train with Arthur's William
Thanks to SBR Arthur for a superb afternoon!
