Happy new year Folks! Although 2011 is only a few days old, our Type 2 workhorse D5310 is already busy, hauling several works trains on the LR this week. Showing how technology makes communication so quick these days, D5310 is seen today in Col Cooper’s photo waiting patiently near Carrog with a DCE consist including the LR’s 30 tonne self-propelled crane. Note the embankment stablisation work taking place in the background.
Remember D5310 is on tour in the spring – visiting the Wensleydale Railway for their spring diesel gala on 8th-10th April and then operating again the following weekend, 16th & 17th April.
Elsewhere in the Group, plans for our 1960’s weekend on July 30th & 31st are already taking shape nicely and news about our Spring Diesel Day on 26th of March will follow soon – watch this space!
And if you’ve still got Christmas pressie money burning a hole in your threadbare pockets, we’ve still got some of our superb range of merchandise on offer. Have a look here to see what’s on offer – we do mail order!
Cheers
Tez Pickthall
