Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

The Round Robin made its way to the CFR over Christmas. Casey Jones had to have a ride in it.

Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

If it makes it to visit Ian and the B & P at East Bedfont, then the C & S is (relatively) just up the road in NW London. I could collect.
 
Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

The new year is now here and what a great night we all had.
Most of the gang from the Charnwood Forest Garden Railway went on the new years eve trains at the Great Central Railway. This is our story....
To start off I went into the Great Central Railway's brand new Cromwell Pullman Bar. (Seen with a bottle of GCR Red Wine. £9.95 a bottle, best be good stuff)

Seen here with Alex the bar lady. We got talking and found out about her G scale garden railway at home.

Had a chat with Steve (Right), Adam (Left) and the guy that hates his picture being taken....

Before we had a chance to have a drink we where at Leicester North, the south end of the GCR. Walked off to have a look at the loco.

After a ride back to Loughborough with much singing and drinking it was time to hit the platforms...

Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

'Fraid not, due to general ill health Casey hasn't yet delivered it here, but as Ferial's been quite poorly I've would been unable to deliver it anyway. I'm now hoping to get it to someone in Nottingham, probably Royale, next weekend.
