This week fence panels built and put into position.

Lots of weeding, tidying up and grass cutting done.


Hot and humid weather for our June open day.

A resonable number of visitors who all enjoyed themselves riding on the trains.

 

Thank you for photos goes to S. Morley and J. Precious.


A tribute to the Flying Scotsman on this open day.  It was 100 years since the loco first entered service.  LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman is a 4-6-2 'Pacific' steam locomotive.  It broke records by hauling the first non-stop London to Edinburgh service in 1928, and became the UK's first locomotive to officially reach a speed of 100mph six years later.

Steaming up for the day is 'Bertie' a Romulus type.

'Black Adder' a diesel outline shunter


 

Opened up on the 5" gauge track is a model of a BR Southern Region Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) motor coach made for the Hastings to Charing Cross line in 1957.
