7mm society visit

This evening we had the 7mm scale society (narrow gauge railway modellers) visiting. We had all our working engines outside for photographing, and many of them started and on the passenger train.

The Gogo tractor made another sucessful run up the line and back, crawling backwards in reverse gear took over 5 minutes.

I think our visitors enjoyed their visit, despite a moment when the Baguley decided it didn't like being a train any more and made a bid for freedom, landing at 45 degrees to the track! It doesn't look like its suffered any significant damage, but we couldn't get the engine to restart, so will have to have an in depth look at it at the weekend.

Also, a photographer from the Yorkshire Evening Post turned up. Peter (the owner and driving force behind the railway) is going to be interviewed on Saturday for an article in the newspaper. So a few minutes were spent gathered 'twixt the Gogo and Baguley for team photographs (...is the YEP a broad-sheet? It might need to be for some people in the photo :-D )

So everyone look out in the YEP in the near future.
