A few pictures taken tonight.

Not had time to visit the traction engine field today so going to do that tomorrow.

They are going to extend the miniature line over the winter. My mate Jamie was the driver today.

Showman’s engines and a few quids worth of E Type Jag.

We were last here in April for the model railway show. Since then a new platform shelter has been added to the  miniature line.

Also Strawberry Park Station now has a building which today houses a model display. Warley had a stand so picked up my ticket for November NEC show

Sitting now in the bar with a cold pint 🍺 

Perfect day for it.

Lez found a car to match her dress colour.

Today at Statfold 

Hi Andy, I think they are ok.

Cheers, Ade.

I see the Southern Railway versions with electric lights are now expected by the end of the year. Had an email from the two big box shifters this afternoon. 
 

Cheers, Ade.

I just hooked the lamp up to a 9 volt battery. This was for the one lamp. Once you connect the other platform lamp up it dims nicely. Just a rush bodge job for the pic 😀

I have no idea sorry. 

Glad you’re keeping busy 👍

Hi Andy, any updates on the layout?

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Russ, with you saying a Spanish Company I suspect it will be these?

I have dealt with them for other scenic items and had no problems. Usual disclaimer applies.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks everyone for all the kind support last weekend too. Dad is ok but getting tired. Starting Wednesday I will be getting help with his care.
 

Cheers, Ade.

Finally a running session 😄

Love the sound of a class 20. Takes me back to my train spotting days in my youth at Nottingham.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Nick, go to your you tube video’s and open one up. Then copy the link and paste it here.

Cheers, Ade.

We caught the train back down the junction and then rode the length of the line again back to Parkend. 

Nice line which runs through some nice scenery.
 

Cheers, Ade.

The museum is excellent with a good selection of exhibits.

Sadly all the steam locomotives were tucked away on shed and with no public access which was a bit disappointing.

Lez added another Railway Bear to the collection.

We then rode back up the line to Notchard which is the main station on the line where the museum , cafe and shop is situated.

The BBC had been filming on the line for a new TV series hence the snow!

We decided to ride the length of the line down to Lydney Junction 

We walked down to Parkend Station and had a leisurely time here taking photos while we awaited our DMU.
