The new rail has been moved prior to work starting, also the  80 new sleepers have been creosoted  ready for the relaying, the next task is to do the levels and we hope to start the relaying at the beginning of Feb weather permitting.

Last Weekend we renewed the crushed rail length on the woodland railway,good job there was 6 of us as we had to take the length up and take it back to the shed because the rail was welded to the sleepers!!

 

During the heavy snow we suffered some damage to the shed roof, which has now been made water proof again

March / April 2010

 After the heavy snow we had, the sheds and mess room  suffered badly from numerous leaks, these were all repaired in record time, and at the same time a spring clean of the outer mess room was carried out.

In the last week of April the mess room roof and inner ceiling was replaced, this included rebuilding the Brick stove.

 The first big event of the railway calendar the Model Railway show was a great sucess, even the weather was kind to us Elouise was running with 3 coaches and the brake van, one of these was the newly finished Penrhyn coach ( see restoration page on the rolling stock page), this proved to be as popular as ever probably due to the seating arrangement.

There were also many layouts to be seen and plenty of trade stalls. 

Pamela was also pulled out of the shed and attracted a lot of interest
