Another new year begins..

Well, it’s 2021 and the start of another year, although it would be a bit of a challenge to tell the difference between this year and the previous one. Nonetheless, allow me to wish the readers of the blog a

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness..

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness..

 Somehow it’s ended up being October, and I’m not entirely sure how that happened. I still hadn’t got used to the concept of August, and logic would seem to suggest that was some time ago. Mind you, the onset of

  All quiet on the eastern front. A snap taken outside the Station building and showing the BVLR building beyond. Just to prove we have a workable workshop in the Engine Shed. Oliver and Robin, ponder the moving of Scaldwell

Steamworks August 2020

Hello Blogwatchers. Some snaps at Steamworks taken last weekend. Thanks to Richard we now have this wonderful lever frame which works despite being in need of restoration. We intend to have some very hands-on machinery in the Museum and on

Catching up on the news

Catching up on the news

True to form, I’ve fallen rather behind on the volunteer’s day news, so it seems apposite to fill in the gaps, as it were. Starting in reverse order, as John has mentioned in his last post, we’ve been filling in

High time we put up a blog as several things are happening at Steamworks. These photographs resulting from a site visit yesterday. Above is one of the two sandboxes from Scaldwell  lovingly refurbished by Oliver and Robin and awaiting a

Looking good at Steamworks, Saturday 20th June 2020

It’s gone virol!  Here is our illustrious Station Master, Oliver Denham,  who has done so much during lockdown to continue the improvements to Steamworks, including some new signs he has had made up for us.   I remember Virol from

Setting out the knives and forks in the restaurant cars

Setting out the knives and forks in the restaurant cars

There’s an old episode of Hancock’s Half Hour I was reminded of this week. Hancock, as impecunious as ever, is consulting the paper in search of a job, and British Railways are advertising for platelayers. When reminded, by Miss Pugh,

A sign of spring at Steamworks! Toby hard at work on the upgrading often BVLR track. Some groundwater drainage was installed last Wednesday so hopefully this will deal with the flooding there. Well, it was the wettest February on record.
