My pictures finally!

All can be found here http://www.flickr.com/photos/c_cardwell ... 640557016/ there are lots of pictures of the super shiney room (that Vicky wouldn't let me stay in, something about needing food) but that didn't have great lighting and everything was behind glass!

The cause of much much excitment...

Why is this in a cabinet :'( There were at least a billion such engines in the shiney room

Ben, Mickt, Pete, Andy and Adam deciding riding on a mini train isn't for them :lol:

5"gauge MiniDeltic :D Me Rupert and Ben must have spent ages getting excited over this... again, such a shame its in a glass cabinet. It's designer/builder past away and it must have been donated like pretty much everything else in that room.

Oooooh, I remember, we went to have a Volvo meet. I kinda forgot about this photo wise :oops:

I heard about the mini-Deltic. Deeply, deeply awesome.

Loving your work on cropping out the P2 FWD, too ;)

I too see it cropped, but it's not on flickr! I'll try and fix it.

There is a load more baby deltic pics in the album inc some of internal engine photos. It was soooo awesome!

EDIT:: V3M is just randomly chopping width from the pics instead of resizing like it used to :( I'll make them smaller so they fit :(

Yep, the 7 in the pic, plus your gorgeous green GLS and the red 340 mk3. There was also a V70R that turned up very late too and for some reason was unwilling to come into the car park and join in the pics. 9x 300's, 1x 240, 1x 850, 1xS70, 1x V70 and 1x S80 in total.

I was up at 10:45, which for going to bed at 4:30am could have been worse...
I couldn't rush right out of the door anyway...I had to stay for a polite length of time having enjoyed my friends' hospitality the night before!

Besides, who wants to see FWD toss anyway! Speaking of which, the 343 is off to the bodyshop a week today. Hurrah!

cheers

Whats the blue and white monster in the pics above? I'm guessing a Bullet from Japan is that right, what ever it is it's cool as funk as far as trains go anyway :wink:
