Today we ran two locomotives on our portable track in Queen's Square, Wrexham Town Centre. Trains started running at 09:30am with the BR Class 33 electric locomotive which was suffering motor troubles! Nevertheless, the loco completed its hour long shift whilst we were waiting for Tim to steam up the Timplex (Tim's Simplex). Tim came on the track at about 10:30am and carried on taking passengers right through until the 4pm finish! Matt particularly enjoyed the two ice-creams from the ice-cream van.
Also, Don't forget! Trains will be running this Sunday as normal from 12pm until 4pm. So if you couldn't make it down to Queen's Square today, there's always tomorrow at our permanent site in Gresford.
A good day was had by all who visited. A Huge thanks to Tim for organising the whole event!
Hopefully you will see our portable track out-and-about over this summer at various events around the county!
