Well I must say it was another great show! The Portable Layout was very busy, Rosa put in a fine performance, Titan Performed better than expected - the leaks seemed to have more or less cured themselves, it was in fact the RC that played up instead!
We even managed to just squeeze an edrig round - I had to remove the tunnel as the chimney was too tall and there were a couple of places where it was just a millimeter or two spare. That was one fine loco - could pull anything!
Unfortunately no pics, I did find my camera - I was just too busy!
And of course there was the usual impressive display from the rest of the forum, and also seeing the MF twin running was a highlight too!

So what is the full story about the Wilesco that fell apart?
Does at least one engine have to blow up at STIA?

Me Dads Bing did John, the stationary. Not as big as James Fleishmann but took ages to fill, all going well, came to the boil and steam and stuff everywhere, sight glass leaking somewhere 
luckily only H2O saw it, as was late in the day doth think Sandy got it on DVD , hot water everywhere  .
There are 2 shut off valves but both were stuck so had a few pints of hot water on Freds table |
