We now have another new club loco.
Counting our electric
diesel shunter, this make 3 club locos, when a couple of years
ago we had none.
This one is a Sweet Pea, started by John Johnson of Urmston
and District Model Engineers who died before it was finished,
this was assembled by Jim Haslam, and then completed and made
to work by Mike Mercer (both of WDMES). While still strictly
the property of John's widow, Irene, the loco is on loan to
the club for use as a club loco.
These photos show the loco on field trials on our track at
Daresbury
