The Sherwood Oaks Light Railway

The lineside is looking fantastic there Matt, and I'd best make sure The Earl is rostered for this sunday then!:bigsmile:
 
After I found out an old friend and fellow modeller had passed away earlier this week I decided I would have a tribute to him, so named a crossing in his memory

The nameboard style is based on the original Leek and Manifold design

A short train was also run

Which later shunted the D class wagon into the goods shed out of the elements

The Earl, ex-Berry Hill Works on the Sherwood Oaks Light Railway.
Matt had fitted a Summerlands chuff pipe and while the smokebox was off, gave it a repaint and detailing, so instead of just picking it up today of course we had a little "play"!:bigsmile:
The result can be seen on YouTube if you enter

in the search bar. (sorry, I still can't post links yet:()
 
Ooooh I like that Baldwin.

Its getting tempting to collect a train from each of the well known local lines near me.... The Ashover and the Leek and Manifold when you see these all spruced up by Matt....... But that would mean changing scale for a while!

Fabulous line by the way, just been catching up by reading through the thread!

Ace job Matt:thumbup:
I still find it amazing just how much "the right" livery can transform (just about) any loco!
 
You would not believe it was the same loco as the black, out of the box original ! Super Stuff.:love:
 
It could almost be the Penrhyn trio of Baldwins ( with 1 extra :bigsmile: )
 
Very nice, and fits it's new location to a "T" :)
('cept of course it's not a Ford model "T")
