Stephen's Birthday Special. Antiquity approaches, although the general acceptance of antique is 100 years old.
That means he is only a young un yet and as his dad and mum were still present, a long way to go yet.

Weather, beaut.  Company, as ever beaut, A good day out in Hinton beaut.  Even bought some local produce on the
way home beaut, Michael's Disco was loaded down with corn and pumpkins. Corn three min in microwave, beaut.

We did run a few trains, some not seen for a while, pics herewith. Mainly a live Steam Day.
Only two battery-electric to put up with. Ted's RS3 and this short video below.

From Ron;

Trailing car RC OBB, Ron's Lyn. Laurie, Michael and the Birthday Boy Stephen.

Some serious discussion here, we will get to the train shortly.

Michael's LS Shay with all the goodies in the tender. Can you call it a tender when attached to the main chassis ?

Self, Royal Hudson, Laurie

Steve's down local.

And the up local complement.

The pair crossing on the back straight. LS of course.

Ron's LS lynne with L&B rake.

Parking the Up local.

---

We have not seen an A4 running for a while, Michael practising the art.

---

And it runs very well,  see your memory isn't shot yet Michael.

---

With good steam effects even.

---

Even better.
The excitement of getting a Live Steam loco actually running correctly often neglects the consist it should be loaded with.

From Col.

The now LRR Hudson steams by, light engine only, due to the learning curve of trying to make it work correctly.

There's that Shay again.

And the down local.

The mighty Garratt 6029 awakens again.

And crosses Lyn and consist.

A good day, and so say all of us. Unfortunately the Newcastle Flyer was not available to take us home.
