Final steam up of 2019

Held a small steam up at my place today with a couple friends. It was very UK like weather wise, cool, damp and it started lightly raining during the final run of the evening. Here are a few pics from todays steaming:

First up is my friend’s Roundhouse Lilla with the first live steam train of the day

We then see Lilla steaming past the engine house

And finally thru the Brewery complex

Next up was my Pearse Earl storming thru the Brewery complex

Nice side shot of Earl

And the final shot of the steam up, my wife’s Pearse Switcher pausing in a light rain at the depot as the last train prepares to head down the line.

That last picture above is just right! Nice work.

Looks like everyone had a grand time, Mike. Great photos.

I love that last photo!

Thanks Ray, I hope to recreate that but in logging style with my Christmas bonus present to myself, which arrived Monday. Still waking the old girl up from many years of not being run, so not track ready yet. Mike

Wow, you must have been extra special good this year. I’m jealous (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)Can’t wait to see her steaming along the tracks.

Got one heck of a contract signing bonus at work, doesnt happen every year, just every 4 years. This was my first time going thru contract talks and ratification. Mike
