Never trust domeless engines..

Never trust domeless engines..

Well, we were thick with snow last time I updated this blog, and now it’s looking quite a bit like spring- I don’t know where the time goes. Of course, there’s not been much going on down at Blyth Road,

If you catch my drift..

If you catch my drift..

I doubt anyone could have failed to notice that it snowed last week. And proper snow too, not just the flimsy stuff that melts after a day or so, but a good thick carpet that hangs around for ages. Steamworks,

Model behaviour

Model behaviour

It’s February already, and as far as Steamworks is concerned, there’s not a great deal going on, apart from quite a lot of cold, wet weather, which is at least doing a lot of good as far as the pond

Another new year begins..

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

Saturday 12th September 2020

  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

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

Fun, fun, fun in the Audubon

Fun, fun, fun in the Audubon

I have a sneaking fear that my punning titles may be becoming a little obscure even by my standards, but we’ll let that pass. There’s no prize for the first one to get it. In the general catch-up I’ve been

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
