Went with extended family & little ones to the
Eastleigh Lakeside Railway on Saturday, just in time to catch the last train of the day! A good time was had by all, and we enjoyed riding behind live steam loco Sandy River, a US outline 2-4-2 in the still very mild weather! The Eastleigh Lakeside Railway is one of
Britain's Great Little Railways.
Steamed Mortimer on Sunday afternoon; it was extremely windy and I needed to set the gas very high to stop it blowing out! This wasn't helped by the Bernzomatic butane I'm using at the moment, the last couple of cans of which seem to make the burner very erratic when first lit - seems as though there might be some kind of impurity in it which burns off in the first couple of minutes. This happens with both my gas-fired locos... Anyway, a nice run once in steam.
