Thanks all who made it and risked the forecast- it turned out very well- in fact some of the fairer skinned of us were even starting to go a little pink by the end of the afternoon.
Some of the usual suspects arrived on Friday evening- and we ran some of my old stuff through the pouring rain, while sitting in the back room with fish and chips!
We then had a great day Saturday. In keeping with the Cogges philosophy there was a very broad spectrum of stuff running and fun was had by all.
Max's lovely live steam Shay waits at Grapevine Siding for its train to arrive;
My Piko 204 on a heavy oil train crosses a Ruritainian international post train
Max's Garratt basks in the sun in front of Cogges Signal box after hauling a heavy coal train
Dave's super "BR" conversion of a Playmobil loco awaits a path on the mainline with its train of Brandbright tubs
Mel's beautiful hand built train of aircraft parts- to repair a pranged training aircraft at near by Brize Norton- passes the Cogges' box on the mainline
My bashed "toy train" hauls the Brandbright tubs
Colin's lovely little Frank S loco with its train of Piko coaches looks very pretty at Toby Siding.
Maxes smooth running DC powered Climax hauls the coal hoppers.
Dave's Rail Freight wagons bask in the afternoon sun at grapevine siding not going anywhere. We all agreed that we remembered they did more of this than we did see them in any trains!
My 66 shows it's pulling power with 11 bogie hoppers and 12 oil tanks in tow...
