hi all as far as i know , the siding where lifted by the DFR to re use the track else where not sure on a date tho will ask when next up there . The slip was removed before we reopen the line to parkend to passengers traffic as the layout was simplefy and the yard was disconected . The yard have been reconected in the last few years ready for the signal box coming in use ( hopefully in the next few months ) regards rob

hey yes it a separate campaign to the one to buy more coaches and it was started before the one to buy coaches as the coaches wasn't available then regards rob

Hi all from the DFR facebook page :- Good news for our Mark 2 Carriage Appeal - please share! We are pleased to announce that we have (almost!) reached the halfway stage of our appeal, and, subject to final surveys, will be purchasing the first coach in the coming weeks. It will then receive the required brake modifications, and will arrive at the DFR ready to add to our running set this year. As a reminder, these Mark 2a coaches have been identified as the quickest way to enable us to thoroughly renovate our existing coaching fleet. In the medium to long term future, the extra capacity will be very much needed as we look to extend northwards into the Forest towards Speech House and Cinderford, and your generous donations can help us to make it happen. You can donate through the following link: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dfr-mk2-coaches OR Cash and cheques can be sent directly to our HQ at Norchard: DFRS Coach Appeal, Dean Forest Railway Forest Road Lydney Glos GL15 4ET

Hi all The Dean Forest Railway is conducting a full review and upgrade of it's coaching stock, which has many benefits: - Improved experience for customers - Better capacity to handle growing passenger numbers - Increased capacity for any potential extension towards Speech House Road An unmissable opportunity to purchase two ex-BR Mark 2 coaches has arisen. The total cost of this first phase of the project is £60,000; this figure covers both the purchase and conversion of the coaches to vacuum braking, to run with our heritage steam locomotives. We have already raised £12,000, and we need your help to raise the remaining £48,000! All donors will be invited to travel on these coaches on their first service train. In addition, donations of: - £250 or greater will receive a 5 year Membership of the Dean Forest Railway Society. - £500 or greater will receive a 10 year Membership of the Dean Forest Railway Society. - £1,000 or greater will receive a Life Membership of the Dean Forest Railway Society. This is just the start of a wider effort to develop the Dean Forest Railway into a top national attraction - and you could play a key part in making this happen... https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dfr-mk2-coaches thank you for any body that gives regards rob
