This is Shirley, my latest toy.  She is a 1/3 scale Bagnall contractors loco.

She went on shed at Lackham two weeks ago, but last Sunday was the first chance I had to play with her.  It was cold, it was wet, but Robert and I had 5 runs between us (Rob had two and I had three!)  It was worth it.

She should be in steam at our next running day on the 2nd May.

Rob making sure that Shirley is well oiled.  We need to learn where all the oiling points are.
A head of steam and ready to go.  Dad has first play!
However, Rob gets his chance as well!
And at the end of the day, all that water (and steam) has to go somewhere. 
Have a close look, Rob's in there somewhere!
