SUMMARY:Steam Toys in Action at the Abbey Pumping Station Museum
DESCRIPTION:This is the event for those with a passion for real steam\, but in a small scale.  100's of steam toys from a multitude of manufacturers and from all ages will be on show\, with many running during the day. \nFor the student of model railways\, there will be three layouts running Mamod\, Bowman and very old Gauge 1\, the latter including dribblers and similar early 20th century locomotives while the Bowman layout will also be running Bassett-Lowke\, Bing\, Märklin and other O gauge live steamers including a 1890’s Schoenner.  This is probably the only place where these can be seen in full operation working as they were intended. Also planned to attend is a steam slot 'car' track. \nRegular visitors will be pleased to know that the layouts will this year be at ground level\, and there will be no need to clamber up to the beam floor. \nThe site narrow gauge passenger railway will be in operation\, and refreshments will be available from the LMTA cafe and freshly cooked chips from the coal fired range of the 1937 Bedford chip-van. \nNo concessions but accompanied children are free.

SUMMARY:La Hotte St Nicolas
DESCRIPTION:It seemed appropriate to show a train set in 0 gauge from a manufacturer with a very seasonal name ( the toy sack of Santa Clause or St Nicolas as he is better known in France) they produced a couple of clockwork short 4 wheel diesel locos one in a set with tipper wagons and a most unusual set consisting of a diesel loco with a long double decker car carrier wagon and a long crane wagon. They were well made with good clockwork mechs and because of their width resemble more gauge 1 for narrow gauge track. There is some difference of opinion as to their history however one renowned book states that these were made by the Pintel Brothers for the Train Factory and were only in production for a short time in the 60's.  The picture shows the car carrier mounted with ETS VW beetles made to run on 0 gauge track. \nLa Hotte 0 gauge set
