Popular Post johndon Posted July 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2022 After fixing some electrical and mechanical issues that we had noted at Expo EM back in May, South Pelaw is back up and running at the club rooms. Here's a video of a couple of trains running the full length of the scenic section. The 9F on the passenger train is not entirely un-prototypical as a number of rail tours ran on the line over the years following the cancellation of the passenger service in May 1955. 17 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axlebox Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I hope Uncle Pawsea (of this parish)…gets his Q6 coaled and weathered in time for the Manchester Christmas show this year…no pressure Pawsea, but you just have to share the sounds it makes as it slips and slithers it’s way up from South Pelaw… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enough to get back up to the MPD at Consett. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndon Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 The South Pelaw Group had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the Manchester show last weekend.

RMweb Premium DLT Posted December 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2022 Many thanks for finding these videos, South Pelaw looks amazing, (as does the rest of the Manchester Show) I still hope to see this exhibit one day, but I'm based in Devon. How far south might to be exhibiting in the future? Many thanks, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
