LAMPOONS

[Hugh Norwood]

Just had a great day at Darryl's in Morley; he was demonstrating a novel approach to setting up track in the garden AND Brain Caton visited with a selection of his live steam models; 5.5mm scale Isle of Man, 7mm scale NG AND the famous 009 locos.

Although they are designed for indoor use, we did get a couple of 009 steamers to work outdoors.

Starting the tram loco on the outdoor track..

I took some video, too. I'll look into uploading that

Ooh, I'm as green as 'Bryn' there! I've seen Brian Caton's models on a couple of occasions and they are excellent models.

Here is a video of that table-top set-up. It looks like a smart little wooden box, which opens up into a circle of track and in the middle are compartments containing a loco, two wagons, a bottle of water, a bottle of fuel, a syringe and a short length of hose...
