A Spare Afternoon...

Today I had a spare afternoon resulting in, you've guessed it(!), the running of trains on the garden railway! Trains ran for around 3-4 hours. The above image shows Black 5 No45156 "Ayrshire Yeomanry" arriving at Chilvers Loop with a passenger train, crossing-over with Battle of Britain Class No34051 "Winston Churchill", on a northbound freight. The following trains ran at differening intervals with all of the lines passing loops & sidings being utilised:-

*Black 5 On LNER Teaks (Clockwise, Chimney First)
*Battle of Britain On Freight (Anti-Clockwise, Chimney First)
*66XX 0-6-2 Tank On GWR Train (Anti-Clockwise, Bunker First)
*Class 08 Diesel On Works Train (Clockwise, Cab First)
As you can see, only a small selection of our stock was being used but it still made for quite a frequent timetable. Thanks for reading. More posts coming soon.
