Garden in Steam...

Hi all. After a nice afternoon at Ryton, I headed home in the bright sunshine. However, all was not over, as the 00 gauge Garden Railway was soon brought into action to run a few trains. The railway operated quite a few services until they ended at 5:30pm. I have included a few pictures for your interest. Below, the visiting A4 Pacific coasts past the house on a 5-coach train. The loco is just about to climb the steepest part of the bank towards Chilvers...
"Oh no!". The A4 pacific stalled on the final approach to Chilvers due to oily rails. The 45xx 2-6-2T was sent to aid the train. She has just 'buffered up' to the tail end of the 'Devon Belle'. The tank managed to get the train on the move again, with ease...
The Black 5 roars up Ashford Bank, running southwards with a heavy, fitted freight...
The BR-blue "Mallard" steams through the greenary above the Rockery...
'Steam Amongst The Petals'...
At Chilvers Loop, the 45xx tank clanks through on a southward freight of around 25 wagons...
4560 at Sutherland Curve...
Below, see a brief clip of 2 trains following eachother across the Rockery...
OK "thats all folks!". Thank you for reading. The Garden Railway will continue to run at various points throughout the year, giving me some 'quiet time' away from the 'BIG Trains!'. Evening all, Sam...
