Preservationland escapes in to the Real World!   Yesterday, Dad and myself made the short trip up the Kemble to see GWR Castle Class 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe hauling the Cotswold Wanderer Railtour.

Great cup of tea from the tiny station buffet, the bacon baps smelt good too!   As I'm pretty useless at photographing moving stuff, I set

Swindon and Cricklade Railway: Wartime Weekend Sept 2013

Last month I paid what was only my second visit to my local preserved railway: The Swindon and Cricklade Railway. The weekend of 14th and 15th September was the railways Wartime Weekend. And as one of my mates, who I also play cricket with, was taking his WW2 American truck along, it was an idea chance for a visit.   There was no mainline loco on loan at the S&CR this summer so Andrew Barclay 0-6-0ST "Salmon" was doing the duties.

Severn Valley Railway July 2013.

Gwrrob asked to see my photo's from last weeks trip to the Severn Valley Railway. So I've decided to start a new blog and post photo's from my various visits to Heritage sites. I usually visit at least two a year.   Last weeks visit was my first to the SVR and I was very, very impressed. Absolutely everything was done to the highest standard. I cannot recommend a visit more.   We'll start with the motive power for the day.   GWR 0-6-2T 5643, seen here going to take on coal at Bridgenorth.
