Toddington on the G&WR

Found them at last. This was our visit to the 

Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway

It was a stunningly beautiful day as we searched for 

and found the G&WR station at Toddington

A very lovingly restored GWR station 

These things are what memories are made of. 

Set in beautiful country, the Glos Warks railway is 

very well worth a visit.

A bit dull and dreary round Haworth Yard

We were pleased to be able to be of mutual help 

to the Embsay Bolton Abbey line with the hire 

of the Taffy Tank 

See what I mean about 'dull and dreary' !

The shunters have been busy moving stock into

and out of the shed to allow for the new roof and 

painting the walls.

USA ATC is now being rested but the Railbus is

still busy on weekends

Good to get things tidied up after the works and the

she is bright and light. Class 4 75078 was about to

go out for a steam test. 

Haworth shed and yard today 10/1/17

The new roof and repainted walls have made quite 

a difference in brightness

Taff Vale Tank No85 now back from its sojourn at 

Embsay on the Yorkshire Dales Railway

The railbus will be in service at the weekend.

USA Transprot Comand 5829 has been doing 

sterling work up to Christmas.
