Re: Saturday steam up.

[Geoff Spenceley]

G'Day Gordon,

A lovely day to run and a lovely run--where did you say you live--must be Southern California, surely not Australia in the autumn!!!! Don't you call it "the wet"!

"And the funniest run was Sir Nigel Gresley with 7 on, chasing a Ruby with 1

car, it took 3 laps to run him down!"

Now that was sad!!! ;-)

Geoff.

Well we had a running day herein Clematis[Oz] on Saturday, and it rained all
day! not Aussie weather at all,but it didnt stop them, 20 runners,and locos
from Roundhouse,Accucraft,Argyle Aster and home builds..it was so wet that
by 3 pm ,the Asters with 6 cars on where slipping at the top of the
grade,due to wet and oily track,but so where Accucrafts with he same
load.but the steam exhaust was wonderful!  cool ,wet day and long trails
hanging over the track..

And the funniest run was Sir Nigel Gresley with 7 on, chasing a Ruby with 1
car, it took 3 laps to run him down!
