It was cold but really sunny as a good group of us got together to play trains on one of the First Sundays in 2023. It chucked it down twice but both showers were short.
Joe ran his shiny fleet of trains and admired Dave's coal fired Ragleth. Mike ran his Edward Thomas and his grandson, Peter, ran on the top track. This was his first solo firing session.
Tom ran a maroon Mortimer while Glenis kept warm in the cabin. John and Elliot turned up late and Elliot coal fired his ELR Eleanor while playing with his new camera mount. John ran a little Merseysider and tried to keep warm.
Alan arrived last and tested out his impressive 12th scale Duchess, cleverly based on a GRS kit and chassis.
Mike and Joe took the took the Photos and the videos were produced by Joe, Elliot and Alan. (1/1/2023)
