WGRG Visits Fred's Railway

[JRinTawa]

Sunday 10th October and the Wellington Garden Railway Group pays a visit to Bryan R's railway on the Kapiti Coast. Bryan is better know by his mates as "Fred" sometimes even spelt as Phred! But what ever we call him his railway is well worth the visit. This is one of the longer established railways in the WGRG, nothing complex, but a fine example of a railway calmly resting in it?s environment.


So on with the pictures.

Ian's Forney working it's way round the rock edged railway

and closer up.

That's the last one form me. I was enjoying the company and before I knew it the afternoon had shot past and I hadn't taken as many pictures as normal (who was that in the back row that said "that's a change" :impatient: )


Thanks to Fred and Margaret, as was overheard may I say "...the cakes are good"
We'll be back again for that promised summer evening running
