Right since i got such a great response last time, a few more photos can be posted! That and a few of the best videos from the day and one for Kempenfelt

 

Before i collapse from what is almost certainly alife threatening ailment, i shall continue!

 

You heard all the details yesterday so few more piccies wouldnt go amiss.

To satisfy john, here is a pic of his admittedly lovely sounding western, nearly twice the length of my loco!

Double heading metrovicks, literally minuter before blowing a fuse on a ten coach train, possibly because mIke (the driver in front wasnt pulling his weight! ;)

One i'll put on the GL5 forum, our very own regular signal man in his new box! he shouts 'comments' from the box, but nobody takes him too seriously because depsite all his wingeing we can see the enjoyment in his face!

Finally piccies wise, a recreation of Rickmansworth pre 1960 perhaps?

 

I'll leave you with these videos, a small selection of my vids from the day. More will be on my youtube channel, GL5mark in due course

The last video has John's western, uip on the embankment, clearly heard from  ost places on the track, along with the 2 37s!

 

 

Finally, one for you kempenfelt and dinmore manor especially. The Dave Noble 21 ton hopper

There were 5 of these at gilling this weekend, and for the occasion a quickly knocked up staithe was erected to let dave play with his hoppers and entertain the kids!

 

Ok, i shall go and recover from my illness, and go back to exam prep tomorrow.

 

Feel free to leave comments, its good to hear your feedback!

 

Cheers

Great pictures again and lovely soundtrack, you really get the noises of the big railway.. Might sell the car and get a locomotive, then lay track to work instead! Just saw a very nice 5" gauge 45xx pannier for sale......

Ha there are a couple about.

 

Its been tempting i tell you to lay a track to college, Theres a big dip as the path drops to meet the road as it climbs again, but nothing a nice model of glenfinnan viaduct couldnt sort!

 

Hopefully get another post up soon, the last few bits of the dreadnoughts are being done, and some work on the loco.

 

Cheers
