September 2010

Visit the website of the Hamilton Models Engineers: www.hme.co.nz

25th September was Hamilton Model Engineer's Night Run. The weather was less than co-operative (OK, it rained hard for most of the day only clearing about 8pm), but the evening seemed to go well. I spent most of it walking round taking photos. The ground was absolutely sodden as we've had huge amounts of rain in the last weeks.

Driving in the dark brings a whole new dimension to miniature railways!

Grant Alexander with his DA before it got dark

Stefan Lipsey driving the club's DXR

The damp conditions provided some nice "smoky, steamy" shots but made photography difficult

Dennis Searle and John Bremner with Dennis' new, all-steel passenger carriage

Dennis' 7¼" gauge WAB (he also has a 5" version!)

Some hardy (mad?) souls decided to camp over night
