This weekend I ventured away from the CVR, but kept to the North Staffs route at Rudyard lake on the 10.25 inch gauge RLSR. The 2 engines in steam were "Excalibur" & "Merlin", the 2 oldest steam locos, although "king Arthur" was being prepared for use.
Also, we went to Brookside Garden Centre in Cheshire for their 7.25 inch gauge railway. "Jean" was in charge of trains. A new extension,which is due to open in 4 weeks time, will include a new station & picnic area.
