A very different day today, many thanks to our guest Roy. Instead of cruising today Roy took me off for the day to play trains! We got to drive a diesel engine and a real narrow gauge steam loco! We fired up the engine, linked up to trucks, pulled trucks, set points, went forwards, backwards and even turned the engine round on a turntable.
What a fabulous day we had. Many thanks to Mike and Derek at the West Lancs railway. http://www.westlancsrailway.org/ do go their site and have a look and if you are up here please visit them. They are a great bunch with a brilliant friendly setup. If you get the chance to visit please do.
