Some great weathering on show here, inspirational stuff :)
It's a great line, but suffers somewhat from being a bit 'out of the way'. They have no shortage of ambition, though, and are looking to reinstate...
I did a similar thing whilst on holiday last week. I picked up a nice set of books at York Railway Museum for £3 each. I thought that was a...
Hi again, all. Well, you know that old saying about the painful lessons being the most valuable? I had some of that today, and the valuable lesson...
Nicely done Kim!
A bit more progress on the ballasting of this area today - the pointwork is now done: [img] It seems that ballasting points has its challenges...
Nice set of pics, and a great choice for Pic of the Week :)
Hello again all, another landmark moment this week - screwing the track down, and ballasting the Chipside area! This is where Celcons really come...
OK it took me 2 days, yesterday morning and this morning, to finish - but... this section is now done! Yesterday I unearthed a pile of old hearth...

Not yet Paul, I need to revisit the Water's Edge Branch and the main line that runs adjacent to it - see page 9 of this epic treatise! :lol: But,...
Thanks Chris, much appreciated. Another update, and I am pleased to report the Dewey's End upper line track bed rejuvenation is now complete!...
A bit more progress today after a week or so of diversion on to other things. Usual thing, first in with some lumps of Celcon block: [img] Had...
An unexpected bonus today - the prediction of heavy thunderstorms for this area proved wildly incorrect - change of seaweed needed at the Met...
