Back On (The) Track…..

As the Co-Vid restrictions continue to ease members are coming back to the track for a run.  Boiler inspectors have been busy clearing the backlog of boiler testing & owners have been ‘talking’ to their steeds encouraging reluctant locomotives to ‘stretch their legs’ once again.  One thing a steam locomotive does not take well to is a long period of inactivity.

From the past couple of weeks here are some pictures of the track activity:

A3’s in action

 

 

 

Daniel’s ‘Glen’ under test, later to double head with ‘Hyperion’……

Richard’s 3½” gauge South African 4-8-2…..

Nice to see it back on the track, Paul H’s 7¼” ‘Bantam Cock’, here sitting at the limit of the Almondell circuit at the West end. This circuit is the focus of our big push to get it completed this year!
