Greystones Part 1b


London cambrian

745 views

Hi all.

 

Your in luck, double helping of my crazy antics. Thanks for all your comments on previous posts, keeps me putting them up!

 

The reason for the title is that there are three greystones runs a year, so if i go, there'll be plenty more this year!

 

With the gilling mainline rally this weekend, i'm off tomorrow evening to go camp in a field, get up at 8am and run trains in the wet! Lots of fun.

 

 

Heres a few more photos, this time from the camera, rather than my camera phone (really quite impressed with it then!) Theres also a few videos, some from coate water and the best of the ones from greystones. theres about 30 of them so i'll string them togther and post them on here via youtube later in the year.

The 1361 tank shunting the yard at the far end of the track, actually where most of the action takes place

The other 02, this one i put on a milk train on day two, looked very good going round!

The yard got very full and hectic on occasions, we had about the limit of what was feasible on the track. 65 wagons was the count on the sunday afternoon!

The 02s going smokeox to smoke box was a sight to see! the rods would variously run in and out of sync with each other as they struggled on the banks occasionally!

the highland loch on the teak coaches, an especially good pairing in the sunlight! But at the same time, an odd one, coming dfrom different ends of the isles (london and highlands!)
