Still plenty of room for visitors. Our recent club 3 1/2" efficiency competition was won by a Rob Roy...3 miles in 30 minutes on just 8 ounces of coal! Come and see if yours can do better!  |

Old chum, 6mph on a Rob Roy is a decidedly respectable speed!

A 3 1/2" Hawskworth County managed 7 mph but he used 10 ounces of coal. |

Don't let HSE know otherwise they'll be demanding seat belts fitted :-)

Last year's Rob Roy day at Andover was the best yet, with engines from Cardiff, Yeovil and Reading as well as several of the club's own examples. This year's event is slightly earlier, being 15th May 2016. If you would like to come please pm me or email me at rexwilliam@fsmail.net. It is hoped that the raised track extension will be in use by then, making it a 1/4 mile long! Here are some of last year's attenders....  From Yeovil...  and Cardiff....  |

Nice photo of the Cars Number Plate and the Beard is much longer!
I got hold of another chassis during last year! Lovely model.
Reputed to have been built by a bored Engineer on Board a ship
between shifts!
He included lots of bits and taps and dies as well!
Fully machined cylinders!
David and Lily.
Oh also on the double doing of locomotives A Prairie Boiler and full set
of castings ran me out of money plus waterjet cut frames!!

I must try to get there one day. My Rob Roy is a box of bits. It might take a while.
