Locos being prepared for Running on 18th June

We have been busy since our last post, did we mention that we planned to install a turntable to enable stock to be turned  allowing us to run trains in both directions ? Well,we are pleased to tell that the work is well advanced as the photos will show, and so it should be ‘commissioned’ in the not too distant future. So now all we have to decide is what method of signalling we should use to ensure safe running , Suffice to say there are options on the table that have been mulled over ! Watch this space !!!

We had a nice afternoon running trains last Saturday afternoon (18th), for the benefit  of a local Parkinsons Group that John meets with, when 4 couples came over and enjoyed several rides behind ,’Isobel’, Chieftain and The Shay, with Prospero also being steamed up . Tea and cakes were enjoyed, of course, and the weather behaved and stayed fine whilst we were running..
