Steaming into the New Year

Today saw the Yorkshire 16mm Groups New Year steam, where they erect two of their layouts in a hall for members to play trains on, there's bacon sandwiches too... I took two of my steam locos, my Yellow Bertie and the Baby Garratt.
I stole my friends beautifully built Timpdon coaches for a run with my Bertie. The finish he's achieved on these is fantastic.
Another good friend brought along his Bertie 'Firefly' along, which successfully puts my to shame with all the extra detailing added. He also brought along his growing rake of Ffestiniog coaches in 'what if' livery.
Catching my eye was this new build 7/8ths loco, which I believe is loco builder  Peter Angus' latest and based on the Horwich works loco from the looks of it. An excellent piece of work.
A Colin Binnie DeWinton was also pottering around, a lovely sight.
