I was a member many years ago. Cutting down trees ready for the extension to Alton, and modding telecomms relay sets to work with the public network, in the days before privatised telecomms and digital exchanges .

That's great news! Hope to see her tomorrow, then (I'm away at a conference this weekend, so can't make the gala itself).

Great! the 9f has been restored to steam again, Nice work guys!

 

[klambert]

Cant wait until the Black five is in steam. Black fives are my favourite steam locos.

 

[UP5521]

How long are we looking at before that can happen?

 

[klambert]

I dont know but I think some time next year so Its quite a long way off.

 

[UP5521]

Well I for one would rather see a british steam locomotive out and running out on the tracks rather than in a scrapyard for that matter and good luck with the other steam restoration!

 

[klambert]

The Steam Gala went alright except for two locos broke down and the timetable was screwed up at the end

Man that does not sound good at all! I hope the Lord nelson can be repaired then be up and running again!

 

[meyshollop]

Me and adam ( another ranger ) were going to go up to alton behind nellie on the run when she failed but luckily we went to alresfold behind Bittern Instead, talk about pot luck

After you left the railway the yankee tank failed again. Wadebridge had to run down light engine from Arlesford and a sevice was held up at Ropley I couldnt get my Bacon butty in the end because the timetable was so bad!

 

[meyshollop]
