More L&L Winter Action

[New Haven Neil]

cold n frosty here on FR this morning - so we ran trains, well, after yesterdays washout we had to....

First run was light engine, to try to get some of the frost off the rails - took a while!! Sun just coming up.

Lot of slipping on the first train, Orry Christian the driver was cursing some!

Looks like the cleaners did a good job though!

Young Mr Wood came all the way from Onchan, braving the arctic weather (!), to run his new Lawley.....

 

[New Haven Neil]

Ran like a dream, straight from the box, it's a good 'un.

The cold, still weather ensured a good plume.....

Mr Wood was seen to display a large cheshire cat grin while his loco ran faultlessly.

And the sun even shone - frost didn't melt though!

 

[New Haven Neil]

Each a glimpse, and gone forever.....
