![]() | WENSLEYDALE RAILWAY - Leeming Bar to Ribblehead Viaduct TRIP TO RIBBLEHEAD On 22nd July 2007 the Wensleydale Railway ran a special train with five DMU cars, headed by a class '101' to Redmire. Here, the party were met by a bus, which took them to Ribblehead Station for a guided walk across the famous Ribblehead Viaduct, which was unused that weekend because of engineering works. This is the happy party of mostly 'mature' people who had arrived from all parts of the country. The old chap through the window told me a tale or two of the old days! This bit of video was taken with my new digital camera which uses a hard-drive and needs no tapes. Sounds like a good thing? We'll see all in good time. See also my video of 80105 at work in August 2007. |

![]() | LINCOLNSHIRE LIGHT RAILWAY - Spring 1994 - Part 1 LINCOLNSHIRE LIGHT RAILWAY - Spring 1994 After retiring from forty years toil in 1992, I used to spend a couple of days a week helping Alan Turner with his Lincolnshire Railway Museum which was situated in the old goods yard adjacent to Burgh-le-Marsh station on the Boston-Grimsby line. The museum was housed inside the former GNR goods-shed, while Alan had built a 10.25 gauge railway around the shed and down to the end of the yard. Shortly before the site was sold off I built a brake van from mostly scrap material, before taking it to the railway, about thirty miles away. There are a couple more episodes to come., |
