IAN SHIELDS'S SECOND 2010 |
The first loco I saw in service on this visit was Chairman Nigel's coal-fired NG15........ ............ seen here with the man himself! Bob Newton had succumbed to a rake of American stock......... ......... whilst Terry Pearce's Model of the Month put in another appearance. My own contribtion was some IP Engineering super-power, in the shape of no less the THREE locos on a PW train! Ray Thompson brought his radio controlled battery electric railbus " 'cos it's easier than steam!" Daniel Town had brought his dad's Merlin Mayflower, which is on its third boiler......... The Ladies settled down for a good natter........... Ray and Bob chatting over the latter's slip-eccentric meths-fired Lady Anne. These coaches were made by a retailer in the south of England - they're basically perspex boxes with self-adhesive stickers for the livery! Ian's old Chedder Hercules did a circuit or two............ ........ whilst this double Fairlie (powered by an oscillating steam motor) hauled a rake of vintage FR coaches. Andrew Mitchell produced this nice train behind a rather newer Lady Anne......... Harry from Northampton brought this nice WLLR train - the wall was useful for sitting on, too! A rather nice Caradoc with Playmobil coaches............ ......... driven by a very serious young driver! ............ and here's the video!
