Hi all. Today saw me back down once again at the Burton Model engineering society on a driving turn, however this time in less favourable weather conditions. With a typical arrival at the club for 09:45am, As always Dave was already on site and on my arrival was in the club house, not long after my arrival, we were joined by Brian, John & Geoff along with others too.
After a catch up with Geoff, Jim and William. We proceeded over to the containers where Geoff, Jim and William said that we would be fetching the two club steam locomotives, the club Simplex (see above photos) and the club peckett (see photo below) for a quick steam test to make sure there was no problems with either engine. This could be another excuse to play trains of course..
However the weather decided to take a turn for the worse and we found ourselves steaming in rather wet and windy conditions, I took the simplex for four laps of the raised level circuit before calling it a day and handing her back to Geoff to help blow the boiler down and drop the fire. Thanks to everyone involved in today's post for another fantastic opportunity. Cheers all, until next time, Jake...
