Beamish town gets a new fire engine ....

Bought a nice fire engine from a charity shop to replace a rather old and tatty one that was part of the line side scenes on the garage layout ...

Match truck painted ...

Finished off in the works livery for the railway ...

Match truck made ...

 I had a spare Hartlands Loco Works wagon which I put by for a modelling project. I decided to use it to make a match truck for my crane...

constructed out of cardboard of varying thickness, a nice addition to the permanent way train, will paint it up in due course; also thinking of adding a mess coach.

Visit to my friends garden railway

Took my tram engine and a short train round to my friends for a garden railway open day a couple of days ago ... doh ! forgot my camera....

One chap bought a crocodile loco and train ..  [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_(locomotive) ]

I had to leave after a couple of hours and missed the steam locos; lovely short video of L&B train here
