A busy and Sunny (thankfully) Summer Open Day at BSME's club grounds
Here's Richard Willams driving my 4" scale Milner Hunslet 'Cloister'
Brian Hesketh and full train hauled by the club's '08' Shunter
Richard opens the regulator to haul a full train up the bank whilst guard takes a picture....
Peter Wardle driving his 3" Ruston designed Hunslet 'Rough Pup' with another full train. This loco has been steaming for over 20 years at BSME and has never missed a beat.
And here is the man himself, Alan Ruston, BSME member and designer of the 'Elidir' 3" Hunslet sold by Reeves.
More of Brian with the club '08
John Walker drives his beautiful Midland region 'Princess of Wales', one of the 'Johnson Spinners.' The type is rarely modelled.
Another rare loco, this time a 'Stirling Single' built by Peter Flavell (Dancer extraordinaire ) and driven here by Bill O'Rourke.
Superb 'Warship' class loco on the raised track
Peter Wardle opens the regulator for the climb up the bank
Lost in the shrinkage of this picture are all the black spots that Richard claims to have got from my loco's chimney... He blamed me for turning up the lubricator before I handed it over, as if I'd do such a thing..........
