Just had a nice catch up read with your Posts Andy. 

Sad to see the bubble wrap invasion of Seven Mills Sidings, any further update on when you get to move down Souf.

 

Stay safe.

Thanks Barnaby, No news yet, although the Solicitor is continuing with all the paperwork, I feel that we and she will make a final decision after the current shutdown in about 10 days. If the Shutdown continues we will probably stay put until any restrictions are lifted.

[5BarVT]

We are in the same position, ready to go once restrictions are lifted.

Our buyers seem convinced that they will be moving in in two weeks time . . . would be nice if that happens , but I’m not so sure.

Thanks Martin, When I first moved up here a lot of people mistook my Devon drawl for being a Cockney, haha. You'd never guess I left there at 4 years of age, apart from a couple of years in the 80's.

Well, if the trains are not running what else is there to do but clean them.

This mornings picture is of 56047 waiting at the Platform, it will soon run past me to the Fuel Roads.

[Andrew P]

Last night I put a note on the bin for the Men this morning.

[gismorail]

Some more cracking pictures Andy so glad you've got plenty in 'the can' to keep us amused ...... now I've been thinking ..........should I start taking bets as to whether Seven Mills Sidings will lose the bubble wrap before the move.!!!!!!

[Andrew P]

And this time, looking back down towards the Top Yard with the Class 40 running in past a collection of Motive Power on the Fuel Roads.

I was on my You Tube this morning and this came up in the side bar, but I'm not on Face Book.

 

I see it's already been posted in Early Risers as well.

 

Just Brilliant. Well deserved.

 

[Adrian Stevenson]

That is brilliant!

[Ray H]

Obviously DCC as it has sound!   

[PeterBB]

The opening picture looks good but it did not run on my computer - probably band width problem but of course in these days mine is steam powered - oops they are not running either at present.

What a cracking way to show their appreciation / respect while at work, great stuff...

No.3 daughter lives in Liverpool and reports that the Belfast ferry did a series of long blasts on the horn at 8pm last night.

All well deserved.

Here's an old shot from last May, you'll notice that the Backscene is still the Welsh Mountains.
