Thanks once again for your comments, Puddles.
Ah! Yes! The lady. A dear friend of ours looks like her as well. A pillar of the community in our village.

A steam engine on the diesel layout?
I borrowed locomotive 46225 Duchess of Gloucester for a couple of days.
Here she is on a diverted Up Thames Clyde service.

Reminds me of a few years back.
I am 'smitten'.

Look back to number 123 of this thread and see Duchess of Gloucester on the layout.
I must have a couple of LMS locos.
The first of two ordered has arrived to day.
5699 Galatea. Galatea was based in Leeds, albeit only a short while. A few circuits of the layout before photos.

A few Steam Specials are now being planned so they fit in whilst running diesels.

A nice set of photos again mate. The ones with the Duchess of Sutherland brought back some memories, I got one for Christmas in 1982 (I think). At the time as a young teen it was my favourite loco. My perants saved up for most of the year for it, my dad was out of work for most of that year so hard enough to pay bill let alone save a bit for me for Christmas. I still have it and it still runs ok but the traction tyres have given up and the lights don't work. I'll never part with it and I always think of my dad when I see it. Spent my summer holidays the following year doing paper rounds to save up for the carriages. Happy days.
