Hi there

We had a lovely running day on Saturday (20th August), when we ran only battery electric locos as a precaution against fire as we have had no rain to speak of here and everything is still tinder dry. So we ran ‘Chieftain, ‘Viceroy’ and the Class  08 with all of our rolling stock at some time, and had a great afternoon in the lovely sunshine.

The Class 08 also did some freight runs !

We also thought we would run everything round in the opposite direction which was fun too . Oh yes, and we used our newly commissioned turntable to turn some stock round which is very easy to use and we are delighted with it, it is a very useful addition to the railway
