RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted June 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 5, 2021 Today we have been out to the EVR. A local line which we had not visited before. They were running a Fish and Chip special. We took our neighbours and best friends with us and had a compartment to ourselves. The price was very reasonable at just over £20 each for the four of us for a return ticket including fish & chips, bottle of water and a flapjack. Motive power was a treat for me being a GWR 94xx Pannier tank. We had a guided tour of the engine shed yard too which had a variety of motive power on display. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted June 6, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 6, 2021 Great set of photos - no wonder you were smiling ! Not been for several years even though it's one of our local lines - looks like I need to make the effort to get out more . . . . . . . . . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted June 6, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hi Mike, for some unknown reason I thought the line was much shorter than it was. It was only when Lez saw the tickets advertised that I read up on it and was pleasantly surprised. https://www.e-v-r-a.com/ Next weekend the BR Standard tank will be in steam. We also got to see inside the coach with the model railway displays (OO and N gauge) though it was officially shut. We did not have time to do the museum and shop. There was also the LMS 10000 diesel association on site. So good excuses to go back. Cheers, Ade. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Old Bruce Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) That may have been the first day in service for the LMS coach. It wasn't in the train on Bank Holiday Monday, 31 May, seen here from a footpath between Gorsey Bank and Wirksworth but was in yesterday (5 June) when I saw it at Shottle I presume it's the work of the LMS Carriage Assocition Edited June 6, 2021 by Poor Old Bruce Typo 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenrithBeacon Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Has the Webb tender conversion to rail water tank been restored? It was looking very tatty the last time I was there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted June 6, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hi David, yes it looked ok. Sadly I did not have chance to get a pic though. Cheers, Ade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
