Live just across from the Corbie Inn, moving away soon and sorely missing the trains passing my house, even at my age I still stop what I'm doing and rush to the window when a train passes. Hopefully see B&K Trains passing sooner rather than later, it's sad seeing the line so empty.
Thank you for posting these scenes. It gives me hope that one day soon we at our tourist railroad here in Ontario Canada will once again be able to provide train rides with our vintage equipment. Port Stanley Terminal Rail.
As a member of a similar size railway like this, it’s good to see more of the volunteers carrying on. Incidentally, around 3:00 there’s a good demonstration of using proper PPE, contrary to a lot of junk that’s been sold to the general public that doesn’t work! Whilst not in a position to comment on the funds in detail, it might be that some of the well known societies are more vulnerable to the lack of cash from visitors, compared with others, especially those that have some paid staff as well as volunteers.
Nice to see work going on in these hard times, while there are people out there willing to keep this going, there is a future, a brighter future post covid.
Good to see this, and yes mother nature will soon take over if you can't get the grass cut and the weed killing done, and a nice tidy site is good for everyone's ego.

As long as there are volunteers and enthusiasts...............you will survive!
Stay safe out there!

" Our last day Toby. Manager says we must close tomorrow. " An accurate summary for heritage railways during Covid-19.

I was wondering when he was going to sit down with that gasket or template he is making lol that’s back braking work well done!
“Grass Cutting temporarily put on hold”? I’ll bet that was one of Nicola’s ‘brilliant ideas’?
Proof that that is no job for a wee woman
Nah sounds like a Boris idea to me
Nah they did the same thing here in Australia, might be a W.H.O idea.
Political point scoring off a pandemic that is ravaging nearly every country on Earth is the mark of a moron.
A couple of 37s, a 57 and DBSO came up from Bo'ness this morning. Doing work on DRS locos must bring in some money?
Maybe its just me but that bell bugs me would rather here the diesel engine than that clanging
Where is this? On holiday from Oz and I’d like to go. Cheers to you all.
Is DRS storing locos there
Hopefully a rush staycationers could help but Nicola is to have them arrested ?
Curious to know what the clanging ringing sound on the shunter is?
No sign of Linda selling calanders.......
Looks like the old man is making a still. Only way to quarantine
Is that the 88DS they want to scrap?
