Preparing the locos on 16th Running Day
Hi, not a lot to report for July, we had a good running day on the 16th when we steamed ‘isabel’ and ‘Prospero’, gave the Shay a trundle round, (think we have found the oil leak !) and Chieftain was popular with Stuart and Isaac ! Stuart’s family came along and enjoyed a picnic in the shade under the trees in the station. We had to postpone the steam tests on ‘Isabel’ and ‘Bronwyn’ due to the fire risk, especially as there was, as you may have seen, a serious fire which destroyed two properties in the village just near East View Farm, scary..

Work continues on the turntable installation which is coming on well, and we have been looking at altering the track plan slightly !! More later once we are agreed, (which we nearly are now !!!).
