THE APPLETON LIGHT RAILWAY
2018 OPEN DAY

Of course, as a brand new line, it had to be Ratified..............

This rather odd thing appeared on the lawn...........................

Ah! It's Mr Nipper...............

........ with his drone.................

......... which produced a very pleasant down-draft on a VERY hot day!

"Oh, look! There's a man down there with a camera!" (Rod Nipper)

Another aerial view.............(Rod Nipper)

Rod also ran his Silver Lady (a standard one, this time) with his Photographic Train.

It seemed rather odd (to my eyes) to see a Darj in green......................

Martin Smith's train was very smart.............

....... As was Brian Laughton's - Bob Newton found the curve behind the tree on the left a little TOO tight for his loco, so "Retired Hurt" and took it easy for the rest of the afternoon.

Ian Shields' Festinog train also impressed.

Another shot of the Darj...................

All in all, an excellent meeting on a scorching day - good job there was some shade about!
