Wednesday night, and although seven members trickled in, we didn’t quite get around to running trains. It was good to see Derek the Apps back in circulation. No.1 son Michael came down to run trains, after a long break, but was foiled. Still, as the still life photos below show, he did have a relaxing evening. And we all managed to talk for two-and-a-half hours before going home. Sometimes I wonder whether railways are just an excuse for a chat….
Let’s throw in a few pictures for good measure. Here is a very modellable halt. Just outside Victoria station it is still occasionally used by drivers picking up trains from the storage sidings on the old canal basin site.
Our Yorkshire outpost, Paul, is back in Japan. I’m sure he’ll forgive me for posting all these pictures he took of Nagasaki trams. A great selection of types and liveries, all passing the same tram stops. Very modellable….
And here’s a little layout to run a few of them….
We’ll definitely be running trains on Sunday…..
