We can provide rolling stock for both the 5" high level & 7 1/4" ground level tracks
We steamed after boiler and system testing a 1949 7 1/4 2-6-0 GWR mogul type which performed very well for it's 1st major steaming since last season. For rides we used our Abberton diesel 0-4-0. At present we are in the process of building 0-6-0 Holmside saddle tank a black" 5 " 7 1/4 Highlander, and various individual projects. The club has a semi-active oo &"n" gauge layout.

Hi Dennis
The short answer is yes, but and there is "allways a but " at present I am still using 35 mm wet process film, I have no scanner that works with windows Xp cant'get the drivers and have not decided on an affordable digital set up. So it will take a few weeks before I can get some shots and get them developed and digitised. Best part of a couple of weeks I thinkbut I will get them.
