RMweb Premium 45156 Posted July 7, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) It was a cracking day with a delicious cream tea, and also three locos in steam - Tarn Beck, Mike's own, and two visiting locos, Centurion, on its second ever public outing, and Ross, which also visited last year. The little traction engine was also in attendance, this year painted in a rather fetching blue Centurion followed by Tarn Beck, then the next post is Ross and Centurion again Edited July 7, 2019 by 45156 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted July 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2019 Looks like a great day. I had arranged a day off so I could go, but yesterday the boss asked if I could work instead. A 12 hour shift with only 4 hours driving (of which just 40 minutes were carrying passengers) and 7 hours free time at the seaside, plus the wife could come too - the closest it gets to getting paid for a day out so I couldn’t really say no.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted May 6, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Mike's Facebook group has a post to say that Subject to the Lockdown restrictions being lifted as per the Government road map we have great pleasure in announcing that the LLR will be open on Sunday 11th July for the RNLI from 1 pm until 4.30pm. We hope as many of you as possible will attend to boost their very depleted funds. According to his posts, he has been a bit very busy during the lockdown with has built a tram (battery powered), and is now building a bridge across the pond, which looks very impressive, and I for one can't wait to see this tremendous project.

quavey Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Sadly the event on the 11th July has now been cancelled due to the extension of restrictions. We hope to be able to do something either later in the year or next year. As for the above images, the bridge is progressing well! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted June 20, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2021 Sorry to hear that Chris - I was really looking forward to visiting your dad's wonderful garden and soon to be extended railway - still it can't be helped.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted August 16, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Just an update - the bridge is now complete, and the raiings painted, and Mike has agreed to allow me to post this image from the FB group, copyright is Mike Cave. Track has been part laid and part ballasted as of earlier this week - it makes an amazing railway into an incredible one.

Great news, Chris, and although we no longer live in Brookhouse, but Ludow we will be there - we have already booked a hotel, and will visit on one of the days. We will also combine it with some visits to our friends up there and to a visit to the A6 car boot. I look forward to seeing the new layout, and your dad's magnum opus, that superb bridge.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted June 2, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2022 Chris, Will there be programmes on the gate, as we are coming up specially - if not, can you please obtain two for Elaine and myself and leave them on the gate for us and I will reimburse you for them - that would be very helpful. I did say on the facebook page that it would be on the Saturday, but there is a change of plan, and we will now be there on the Sunday afternoon.
