About Me
Hello! I am 17 and i live in the ex-railway town of Swindon in Wiltshire. I own a 5 Inch Gauge 6 wheeled battery loco and a 7 1/4 County Donegal Railbus that I run at my local club. The North Wilts Model Engineering Society at Coate Water country park. I also own a oo gauge layout which also features on my website. I own a live steam 16mm De Winton loco and several battery locos of the same scale.

Location:Swindon

1st Nov 2006Accident At Coate! (Nobody Was Hurt!)
On the tuesday working party day the railway took a delivery of 2 van loads of old pallets which were then taken to pieces and the wood then sumhow had to be taken from the steaming bay to the store next to the station. To do this we got out the gondola coaches and put 'Fred' on the front we loaded the coaches a few times sucessfully then on about the third trip we loaded the coaches alot more than before, with people sat on top to try and keep all of the wood on and me driving, we set off down the line a few metres until the whole train of three coaches tipped up onto its side with all the wood then thrown onto the ground. Luckily nobody was hurt and the locomotive stayed on the rails. We re-loaded with a smaller load and eventually managed to get all of the wood to the store!
