Well I can Defo see the Helston Railway and the KESR😂

It was a long time ago, I doubt old ferret face is still active

And a few more, oh and little Katie I just fell in love with

I was working at Hythe on the Saturday of the gala, omg it was crazy especially when that first parallel run came in with Churchill and Hercules, mind you it was pretty mad for the hole day on the Sunday it was my chance to have a play. Jayne

When i was with the K&ESR, quite a few of us would go up there for a week and volunteer, we'd all have to go down a grade, so with drivers it was fireman and fireman it was cleaners. I used to enjoy going there until i had a massive argument with a driver over not to be moved boards that i had put on a standard 4 tank while we was cleaning it. I had put them there so it was my responsibility to remove them once it was safe to do so, But he didn't see it that way, he was a driver and that was all that mattered, it drew a bit of a crowd until the forman came along and calmed it all down. Never went back to the NYMR after that, it kind of ruined my illusion. Jayne

Those images do make that pack very tempting

I've got the boards, i have most of the track and points, i have most the the materials to build the station building and canopy, the only thing i am lacking in is time, grrrrrr Jayne

Introduction: My name is Jayne, it wasn’t always Jayne but that’s another story. I used to be a volunteer on the K&ESR, started in 1979 as a cleaner when the railway only ran as far as Wittersham Road. Over the years I progressed from cleaner to passed cleaner and then fireman. I always remember my firing test, I was so nervous and worried that I would mess it up, but I didn’t and I passed. I think my first solo firing turn was one of the most scary things I had done at that point, with no one to bale you out should you muck it up. Over the years I became quite a good fireman, although I did have a tendency to over fire. By about 2002 I was finally learning to drive but then my personal life took a nose dive ( I think you can guess why) and I gave up the railway. After many years of Bulldog shows with my new partner who sadly passed away in 2019 I had a big empty hole in my life where she once was. Anyway in 2021 as things started to open up I decided to treat myself with a ride on the RH&DR and slowly all my old childhood memories of the railway came flooding back, so that evening I joined the RHDRA and filled in their volunteer form. After having a volunteer induction course I started with them, mainly working in the shop at Hythe, it’s not what I wanted but as Al Murray would say, their gaff their rules lol. I have now started train dispatch training and hopefully in the next few weeks I should be getting passed out, and then with luck next year i'll get to start training at Hythe signal box. Am I enjoying it, yes I am very much, the staff there are great, full of knowledge they are only to willing to pass on. I do a full day there feeling absolutely shattered but fulfilled in knowing I’ve done a good days work Jayne

Your guess is as good as mine. I have been regularly checking the Terrier Trust web site and there have been very few updates as regarding the Bodiams overhaul. Looks like they keeping it very close to their chests as to how she’ll be when she’s finally finished. My guess for the pack is I don’t know.

@Torn-on-the-platform. Thank you, I’ve seen a few layouts of Hayling in either Southern or BR days, but I’ve yet to come across one as a preserved line, so it’s going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Jayne

Ordered up the baseboards today from Grainge & Hodder, I just didn’t fancy making my own this time and ordered dowels and catch’s from Station Road. I’ve got some track and points that I haven’t used yet on Little Framling, so I’ll be using those, I’ll have to get some more points and flexi track as I know I haven’t got enough. I will be using Peco code 100 again as I just prefer it and it seems a bit more robust than code 75 to me. Jayne

I received that email this morning , would love to do it, unfortunately I am at work

I’ll have to check my book when I get home , but I think bits might be more the case, plus I’m not sure where they were scraped. Anyway I think I’m going to call it a day with the GWR terrier being the last barn find so to speak. Jayne

@RodneyS. You’re welcome Rodney, they’ve always been a favourite of mine since I used to volunteer on the K&ESR. I don’t know if you’ve got this book, if not you should as it lists every single terrier and what happened to them.
