I've just uploaded a new collection on my Fotopic site with a selection of photos taken at the Moors Valley during two visits by the Wessex NG Modellers in 2002 and 2005 http://mickthornton.fotopic.net/ Mick |

Some great photos there, Mick. Unfortunately the only time I went there I didn't take up the offer of a free ride rouand the circuit. On the other hand I did get an hour at the controls of the signalling system (another hobby horse of mine).

However, can I say that EVERY Moors Valley/Tucktonia loco since Tinkerbell/Talos has been a development of the Tinkerbell design, to prove the suitability of a hard-working loco for 7.25" track, in rather a similar fashion to Heywood, on which the Tinkerbell is designed (please refer to Katie), but in a more radical fashion. However, rather like Brunel, there was not much commercial scope for these modified designs at the time, and even more unfortunately there never will be.
Still doesn't stop the pictures being illuminating and informative, though. Keep it up.
