Woody Bay Lynton and Barnstaple Railway
Congratulations on coming of age
A superb scene right out of the past
Well maybe the modern dress give it away
West Somerset Railway Minhead and the S&D 7F
Another image that could well have been from the 1930's
Maybe the electric sockets give it away a little
Minehead station on a summers day
The Lynton and Barnstaple Railway No 762 'LYN'
I have had the pleasure of watching the L&B grow over the past nineteen years and what a pleasure it has been as we take our holidays in North Devon to watch the progress of this dedicated band of volunteers.
There has been many 1ft 11.5 gauge locos over the year
However this last year has seen the culmination of their
work in the new LYN
Now Woody Bay has completed the circle and looks
exactly as it would have done in its heyday
Very well done every one
City of Wells at Haworth and the new shed
City of Wells basks in the sunshine.
Haworth shed with our new roof making things brighter
It has certainly made a big difference
