Hi chaps,
I'm told they'll be a trip to Tytherington in the morning (08 October 08), they're bring stone out by rail. Not sure if any others will run in the next few days, no doubt the Gen masters will have more details!

Erm, the engine never appeared. Might happen tomorrow now... We'll see!

It's appeared on the system for tomorrow, although, if I recall correctly, the last time they tried to send something up the branch the crossing equipment failed and they had to turn back. Hope it's fixed!

Hopefully a few more trips will knock the rust off the railhead!

Not just rust, Alex, 1 inch saplings standing in the 4 foot!, At Iron Acton there was a clearance crew out after complaints from the train crew about trees striking the loco's screen whilst traversing the branch(no pun intended).
