My youngest customer took delivery of his first live steam engine today, an Accucraft Dora in lined Maroon.
As he wanted to test it we went to Nienoord to have a nice running day with some friends.
You will see two Dora's, the Maroon ran great straight out of the box. What a lovely beginners engine that is! The Black one has had some upgrades, how nice to see that you can change a basic locomotive into something so beautiful.
We also had a rather heavy shower in the afternoon, with so much water that the wicks of my Britannia got wet!
The other locos today:
My Aster Schools class (big surprise!)
G1MRC Britannia "Robert Burns"
Aristocraft Class 66 "Whitemoore"
Bowande GWR 1466
And at the end the Accucraft Lawley which picked up a passenger too!
