sidmouth Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I had the pleasure of running a day at the Churnet Valley Railway in Staffordshire with visiting GWR 56xx 5619 My thanks to all at the railway for putting on a superb day despite the weather conditions and the participants for their excellent company We were very fortunate in that an overnight fall of snow transformed the Churnet Valley into a winter wonderland 30742 Charters - 5619 at the Churnet Valley by Martin Creese, on Flickr 30742 Charters - 5619 at the Churnet Valley by Martin Creese, on Flickr 30742 Charters - 5619 at the Churnet Valley by Martin Creese, on Flickr Full album can be found here https://www.flickr.com/photos/martincreese/albums/72157661325772103/ plus a little handheld video as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidmouth Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Many thanks Dan . On Thursday the forecast was gold medallions , by that evening Metcheck went into depression mode and forecast a day of rain and sleet . This seemed then to come in early and it snowed overnight . Stone which is 10-15 miles south had very little so we were very very lucky ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted January 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 19, 2016 Very nice. Does anyone know if it is still fitted with a small ejector? - I should explain that the 15xx, 56 and 66xx tanks are noted as having been fitted with a small ejector for shunting. The 56 and 66xx's were fitted with a pump, whereas of course the 15xx never was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp1 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Very nice indeed! I reckon that's next year's christmas card images sorted. I had exactly the same thought.Or offer the images to the railway to raise funds via their own Christmas cards? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
