It was good to catch up with Peter Leadley and the Clee Valley Railway today at the Hull exhibition. Peter has described his O9 project on the NGRM Online forum and this was it's debut show. Peter has put together an interesting collection of O9 locos, some being one-off scratchbuild's by fellow Hull club member Paul Windle. Sadly some issues with the Windle 'Bonnie Dundee' hadn't been resolved, even the SMR's chief p-way engineer's input was sought.... Luckily though the issues with his Guest-style tender loco may have been identified, hopefully Peter can have it running on the Sunday!
Peter's has the first completed MG Models steam loco I have seen on a layout - painted in Northern Rail purple!
An overview of the layout, coaches are built from Avalon Line kits I made the masters for some time ago (just don't ask about the bogies...):
I promised Peter a visit from the SMR 'Scooter', here it proves that it, and a wagon, could fit on the turntable together:
