Helo Live Steamers,
Just joined the group and thought I would say hi...and a question...
I model in 16mm on 32mm

Hello Geoff,
You seem very knowledgeable of the Iver and perhaps have an inside connection
of the current Cheddar happenings.
At one time on the Cheddar site they made mention of the possibility of a 4
wheel tender with hand feed pump for Iver. Is this still being considered, or in

Tag, you may be surprised how many steamers on this side of the pond do
run their steam trains thru miniature gardens--probably more so than in the
UK! They are just not mentioned much on this list.
All the few steamers in this rural area--(5 if us) do so!
Can you send me the JPEG too- off
it is interesting isn't it that so many padres are interested in

And don't forget the Vicar and Bishop in Titfield!

including me. Geoff, myself, and a few others will be steaming up my garden RR on
