Visited a magical Open Day today, met up with some 16mm Society Guys not seen for a while, host well known to me as well. Even our own Max was present. So in the best of tradition some Pictures cos I know you all like Pictures.
Max was running this rather nice US Jobey with his impresive Work Train. He even stopped it for me on the last picture. On the right is a Roundhouse Silver Lady in Maroon.
My Jack got a turn with some LGB Wagons Bunker first, the only Bunker First working of the day.
Stanley also got a turn in with the same Train.
The Coffee Stirer Express was Station Pilot all day carrying out quite a few complex Shunts and recovery Operations after Locomotives ran out of Steam on the Main Line.
Then as most people had left Flash Gordon put in an appearance in his Rocket Ship.
Finally when all but myself had gone the Host decided it was prudent to run his very nice docile Accucraft German 0-10-0t. What a superb beast this was.
Sadly I missed many other pictures of Dajeelings and Single Fairlees etc. Next time perhaps.
