A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Mendip Vale Station after running round the train, 46447 is ready to depart and power the return journey to Cranmore.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

LMS/BR 2MT 2-6-0 46446 (Crewe/1950) near Llanuwchllyn with one of the last trains from Bala to Barmouth. The crew driving this engine were Driver Lloyd Evans and Fireman Cyril Edwards.
Loco allocated to Machynlleth shed (6F).
The light was fading and it had started to rain, hence the poor quality of this photo.
Many thanks to mawddwy1 for the crew details and other information.

As a child I used to love my Lego train, but as an adult builder, I have built a grand total of three LEGO train models in the last fifteen years. So, I'm not an experienced train builder and was a bit apprehensive about building this one. It came together nicely and works well as a stationary model. However, I have designed it with the possibility of running it on Lego track in mind. For that I will have to remove the forward part of the cylinders, to allow the pony truck to swing out, and I am in the process of building a tender that houses a train motor and battery box.

Preserved London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Class 2MT 2-6-0 steam locomotive 46521 outside Loughborough Locomotive Works on the heritage Great Central Railway in Leicestershire (UK).
46521 was designed by (ex) LMS Chief Mechanical Engineer Henry George Ivatt at British Railways Swindon Works in February 1953 and was withdrawn from service on October 31st 1966.
Last weekend, I displayed models at the Great Western Brick Show (aka. Steam) in the UK. One of the models I took, was my Allelys lorry carrying an Ivatt Class 2 locomotive. I designed the locomotive such that it can run. At the museum, after hours, I was able to give it a proper shake down at a layout built by the LEGO Northern UK Railway – LNUR. This is a video of it in action courtesy of Andrew Harvey.
After a false start, with a few bits pinging off, it completed a few laps of the layout without problems. In this video, at first, it is moving quite slowly, but after it takes the turn and is overtaken, I had it speed up. It also completed a few laps with two wagons behind it and did OK. Ultimately, though, after maybe a dozen laps, something failed, causing it to derail whilst at high speed.
It was a lot of fun and I am well pleased with how well it did, given that I never build steam locomotives. Thanks to the guys from LNUR for being good sports!
