Hello,
This evening me and my friends decided to have what is to become the Seibiant Hill Railway's annual Bonfire Night Gala (also known as 'Steam by Stars'). Fun was had by all, and we gathered a cracking selction of videos & photos. Including some that make it look like the Spark Arrestor on my SL3 isn't working!

My faviroute shot from the evening! SL3 with sparks!


Some more of the SL3 with sparks!





I shall post some more generic shots tommorrow!

Thanks go to my friends Harry (for pictures & video) & to Michael (for assisting me with the fireworks, and taking some pictures)

I shall post the video in a while.

Great display William. I trust that you locos did not get damaged by any stray sparks, etc.

Looks very similar to my photos of Merican No.2 or Panka No.3 in this topic - http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/ftopic6349-0-0-asc-.php.

Ok. I'm either really stupid (some forum members smile) or I'm not catching something. Do you have fireworks on the mamod or really close to it?
