I have a soft spot for the KS Wrens.
There was Lorna Doone in the much-missed Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry, now living a few miles away from us at Amerton. Here she is with the piratical Thomas Eivers, of Endon Valley Custom Decals on the footplate.
Then there was Peter Pan at Leighton Buzzard, the non-working replica that Peter Jones built in his garden, and, thanks to Matt Acton, my 7/8ths tribute to Peter
Oh and then there was Dryw Bach at Bala
I've got a OO9 Wren somewhere as well.
Where is this heading?
Although the Eaugate Light Railway closed two years ago, I still own the locos and the coach. But my chances if ever using them are limited. Tug now only gets used for indoor events, and Teddy isn't powerful enough to be useful at Foxfield.
I'm beginning to wonder whether selling them to fun one of the new Maxitrack 5" gauge Wrens might be viable
I'm not yet fully committed to the idea, but if it stops raining this weekend, I might get the 5" gauge jubilee track out to play around with ideas
