A few fairly major changes have taken place recently with the “frequent use” loco fleet at Apedale. Ruston No.29 “Vanguard” has been taken out of use and put into store for the time being – it has been ailing for a little while, and needs a dose of engine looking-at. This loco has been one […]

They weren’t particularly thorough at cleaning up […]

A current project is to build a simple shelter for restored wagons, and a team braved the sub-zero temperatures to progress […]
There was the beginning signs of the onset of Spring this weekend. Put another way – it didn’t actually snow, which is an improvement. Despite the urge to plant daffodils, the Moseley Railway Trust’s volunteers managed another productive session.
