No running on 'Heatherley' last night - annual AGM (snooze city )
However, the date was set for our Xmas dinner - 3.12.25
One of our members co-owns a Chinese restaurant/take away so he brings a banquet over to the club rooms and the club pays for it. Great nosh

More than a tad WR running last night saw box vans/conflats substituted for coal wagons and hydraulics as motive power

Class 42 'Goliath' D819 with mixed conflats & vans on Hestherley by Mick Hollyoake, on Flickr

'Goliath' was sunk in the Dardanelles in 1915 by Turkish warships and my great, great uncle Alfred Lucas was one of 570 who perished out of a crew of 750

Those videos are 'hellfire!'

Great videos mick especially over the viaduct but probably could have done without the chatter.

[Newportnobby]

I really don't think the rest of the members would shut up just for me to take a vid

[crewearpley40]

Mind you the sentimental piece about the Warship Goliath was touching and special to your memories. Performs well and like the viaduct over the river

No layouts running tonight as it was the Club Xmas Dinner. A banquet of Chinese food supplied by a club member who owns a Chinese takeaway/restaurant in Southport along with his wife.
Scrummy nosh and a great laugh

Took my new Farish V2 to the clubrooms last night so it could stretch its legs a little....
