A change to the advertsised programme this weekend, as we all went off to Hollycombe to their railway weekend on Sunday. The lure of Jerry M & Palmerston won over the O&K at Twyford (and we can always go Twyford another Sunday, and to Amberley another time to see the O&K ;-)
A good time was has by all, our little girl enjoyed the fairground in particular and was very excited about going for a ride behind a traction engine(!) Her daddy however was much more excited to see a prototype of his model 'Cackler' for the first time - and fantastic she looked too; the lining after last years' overhaul is very smart indeed (if ever I got Cackler 'lightline-d', I think it would have to be this paint-job).
It was nice to see Jerry M & Palmerston running regular services (including a short goods wagon rake) from the station, and at the end of the afternoon, double-heading the last run of the day.
The only down side was we didn't have enough time to see everything - sadly we missed the 16mm layouts! (never mind, there's always next year)
