Video taken this week on the first really nice day here in the UK.
Some interesting features, in as much that the second of the new Aster single chimney 9Fs , built up from a kit in this immediate area, competing favourably with an Aster 4-6-2 Britannia.
At the end of the video there is a quick view of one of the original Aster Schools class from 1975 which just had it's first run in steam (pretty good considering it's rather basic design)
The G3 contribution is a Robinson class A5 4-6-2T based on the original 1912 version for the Great Central Railway. The model was built in the 1970s by R Wallis
Great fun these old models
