Tonight Highlander was secured and packed, along with the spare parts as agreed with sombre ceremony while Great Western Railway 100 Years Requiem played over the workshop tannoys.

Thank you very much for the flattering comments folks, I wish I could have had more time for this so you'll just have to excuse me as a "Newbie" 
Just to close, here's a very short video of the latest addition to the fleet being collected in fine style at todays steam-up

very nice indeed | ||
| colin |
Liked the video and the engines ! | ||
| stenella |
Splendid table! Is that an actual railway coach in the background of the video ? | ||
| Narrow Minded |
It is indeed
I filmed the video at todays steam-up at Butterley, the Midland Railway Centre. We have a garden railway right next to the main running line ~ 
Informal gatherings of like-minded railway "nuts" where we play trains, swap ideas and information and enjoy the sight and sounds of "the real thing"............ Bliss

Final Words really; thank you for letting us see the WLLR!
Also a pleasure steaming up at Butterley mate, would love to do it again sometime next year when we have more time [and less disasters ]
Hopefully the Jessie and spare parts will suit you down to the ground too - seeing your Lady Marilyn yesterday has seriously opened my eyes at to how good Accucraft are getting
