Wow looks like a really good variety of traction there . Well done Swanage . I think it’s one of the nicest heritage lines in the country with Corfe Castle and the delightful town of Swanage at the end

I can certainly recommend the Bankes Arms in Corfe Castle 😀

 

Cheers

We stayed there quite a few years ago and the room overlooked the railway.

Pleased to see you enjoyed watching the Swanage Railway trains. The beer garden is included in our 1/43 scale 0 gauge model of the Swanage Railway at the barn at Godlingston Manor in Swanage.

I wandered down to the Furzebrook Railway bridge every hour from our Purbeck Model Railway Group meeting today. The picture shows 5021 'Rodney' looking immaculate and tailing a train at 10:15 to the wonderful Frome Viaduct.  Only one other train spotter there and by 12:18 I was the only person taking pictures there.
