Water Tower News + Other

The construction of the Line Side Delights water tower which we purchased in May is almost completed, the most obvious addition that still needs to be added is the filler bag. Rather than painting the tank black like most railways have done we decided to paint it green.

On Sunday 29Th June we visited the Fundenhall Railway along with owners of the Raglen Hall Joint Railway for a running session. We took Cambrai, and Dr Harry - this was their first visit to the line, we also took our DR boxvan and Playmobil wagon (which has been repainted into EWS livery).

Three Aristo-Craft Class 66s was in attendance seen above lined up.

Update - 16 June

During May we went to the Cambridge Garden Railway Show and bought a number of things for the railway.

This Gaurd is from Model Town you buy them unpainted which gives you a choice for how you want them to look, we also bought a number of other people from them.
We bought this coal staithe from Lineside Delights, this has now been painted up and situated in the yard. We have also bought a water tower kit from them, this is currently under construction.
We bought this Halt shelter from Model Town and was incredibly easy to assemble, we will be buying more of their kits i nthe future for example the engine shed and ground signal box.

This scratch built railbus visited us for a week from the Fundenhall Railway to check height clearances on our new tunnel/footbridge.
