It was a pleasure having you and the other members of Urmston DMES over on the Saturday. The weekend was a great success with over 2300 passengers and lots of visiting model engineers with their locomotives. Hope to see you all next season.

I've seen a couple of tracks with 5 inch gauge. But I havent ever seen any 5 inch gauge trains running on them.

Hi Daniel, the track is in Walton Park, you can find more information on this Webiste: waltonparktrains.co.uk/

Hi Matt Seymour, there are lots of suppliers in the UK that sell scale loco lamps and yes even in 3 1/2" gauge.

The events are listed on different club websites, look for open days or open weekends. To attend an event with a steam locomotive you will need a current copy of your boiler inspection certificate and also proof of insurance which normally is provided by your club/society.

It's actually startlingly fun to ride them. More fun to do than it looks.

Pretty badass model, then.

If you cant appreciate these , you can reach deep in your pocket and buy a real one if thats more pleasing 😉

I’m confused by your comment and don’t know if it is a joke. But just in case you are serious at no point do I mention that anything is ‘For Sale’, the word ‘Sale’ is a place in South Manchester and the name of the Model Engineering Society which is based in ‘Sale’ is called ‘Sale Area Model Engineering Society’ or ‘SAMES’ for short, I hope this clears up the matter.

LMS4767 interesting on the name Sale. Being in the states I did not know that. Very good and interesting video.
