10800 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 The Matford crew stopped off at the Mid Hants on the way to Scaleforum last Friday and at Swanage on the way back yesterday (well you have to have lunch somewhere). The Mid Hants was not running a public service but there was a day of footplate experiences going on. After cabbing the Black 5 at Alresford we headed up to Ropley. There we were kindly invited into the signalbox (relocated from Netley) Before the Black 5 arrived to exchange tokens, take on water and depart up the line The shed at Ropley can provide images that look just like the early 60s In passing we must mention how friendly and helpful all the Mid Hants staff we encountered were as we wandered around on a non-public day. Swanage pics a bit later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
