I thought I had posted a link to these in here a few months ago but it seems I hadn't! So a few months late, but still worth a look (I think?!) A number of pictures from the GL5 club's main line rally at Gilling East in Yorkshire back in August.  The gallery can be found here: mikesolloway.fotopic.net/c1568508.htmlCheers, Mike |

Great pictures, Mike - the rolling stock is very impressive - who made all that?

Hello Mike & John,
One of our club members was / is a regular runner at Gilling with his 5" B1. On the odd occasion he was last man running on our club track, he would put his collection of goods wagons behind the engine and let her go, undriven around the track. He did this with about 15 psi on the gauge and just the dying embers in the box. The train might just manage a circuit and a half before giving up, but what a sight if viewed from rail level! No 12" to the foot human in sight, pure magic.
Waggy.

I thought they were great pictures too, and especially the ones without humans in, so realistic.
Ian.

Incidentally Mike, do you know where I can source plans for the coaches?
