About 90 minutes from the start Moundsa Mayo of the Virtual Railway Consortium had counted 30 engines on the line, including 6 without a driver. The following snapshots are giving a good impression of the activity during the event, as spotted from different stations

The first five pictures were taken at VRC Station Athetis, at that time the lag was rather mild and most of the engines were rather close together
VRC Trainspotting Station Achemon. Moundsa Mayo has found a splendid viewing point on top of the observation tower, waving at the passing engines

This Roll-Royce was fitted with auxilary wheels to make it suitable for the SLRR track

Why has this event been hijacked by VRC? VRC had nothing to do with the organising of this event, it was a non-political SLRR Rail Group event. The so-called journalists that made this page need to learn objectivity too, every single picture is an advert for VRC rather than focusing on the group which is behind this event.
It is normal for VRC to blow smoke up their own arses, but for a piece like this to have such a slant towards them shows no class on the part of the person posting it. Someone needs to learn about journalism...
Dear Anonymous.
We are not journalists, we have no interest of politics. We are artists and bloggers. We just like trains and SL. We come in peace. :)
