Coate 5" running day

25th October 2009

Ken Parker organised a 5" day at Coate, The weather was really bad at the start and several locos never arrived, but, the sun came out for few hours and we had a good time.
Thanks also to Peter (Abbots Model Engineering) and friends from Iron Bridge and Telford, Peters new Nemesis loco performed well all day.
Ops, some pictures from LGB Bob!
