Today on the WGLR

[yb281]

First really nice day of 2011, so trains have been running today on the WGLR.

Tramway diesel out first, taking the Lowmacs (properly loaded and secured) to the yard ready for the Perway gang's night time possession.

Passing over Foggy Bottom viaduct.

Then through The Narrows.

Finally shunted into the yard, allowing a passenger service to pass.

Kerr Stuart No.1 passes through The Narrows with her passenger train.

Through the woods before crossing Church Street.

Crossing Foggy Bottom. The train consists of - passenger baggage van (actually carrying batteries & remote control kit) (re-painted LGB), ex Glyn Valley Tramway all first (Andel kit), 2 compartment all 3rd (Brandbright kit on LGB chassis), 3rd/baggage/brake (IP kit on LGB chassis), goods van (scratch-built body on LGB Feldbahn chassis), and ex Vale Of Rheidol brake van (IP kit).

The end .

It's all right for you, you can post piccies, me, I feel inadequate.

Joking apart, it's looking great is the WGLR. We have had the ankle biters today so have not been able to do a thing.

Lovely stuff!
Half way through the video there is a black rock(?) with an "X" on top.
Are you modelling a pirate map as well?

That's the old tree stump?

Or is it a heliochopter landing pad....

Yep, Welsh helicopter landing pad - the word helicopter starts with X in Welsh .

Someone called?
I see Mel has been in my shed again, this time it's the Volvo mini digger, I can tell 'cos of the 'dirt' sprayed on.
Pity I don't have Lowmacs (my family name is Lomas, only need the WC to be complete ) so the thing gets posed reposing from digging (no driver).

Xelicopter....

 

[Westcott]

Silly me for thinking that "Xelicopter" is Welsh for "pirate map".
Even sillier for thinking that Welsh does not use the letter "X".

Lovely to see railways emerging from the winter

 

[yb281]

Looks like the Wetton Gooey is well and truly running (to full capacity - probably not eh ? )

Yes you're right Paul. There's no way I could possibly run all of my stock on the railway now, I tend to go for themed period running days. I certainly don't NEED any more rolling stock - but since when does that stop us?

Of course, a standard gauge interchange siding is on it's way ........... and there's only one truck for that at the mo .
