Moors Valley Railway

Not much been going on at home on the Worthies & Littleton as I've bean dealing with the cough / flu thing that's been doing the rounds (though I did watch a few episodes of The Garden Railway on DVD ;-). But off to the 7 1/4" narrow gauge Moors Valley Railway near Ringwood today to celebrate my Nephew's 3rd Birthday.


Enjoyed a nice circuit behind No. 11 2-6-2 Zeus, hauling one of the longest / heaviest passenger trains I've seen on a miniature railway - I'm amazed it got around the sharpest curves!




Nice also to see a double headed frieght train, hauled by No. 6 2-6-2T Medea and No. 17 2-4-4T Hartfield.

Hoping to get to Kew tomorrow for the model steam railway show...
