Title:
LINCOLNSHIRE LIGHT RAILWAY - Spring 1994 - Part 1

Description:
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.,

Time Flies By When I'm The Driver Of A Train...
A piece of nostalgia from the past... From 1992 to 1994 I assisted Alan Turner with his Lincolnshire Railway Museum at Burgh-le-Marsh near Skegness. Besides showing visitors round the large collection of railway items, including a full-size Hudswell Clarke saddle tank, I drove the two steam-outline locos. The loco seen here is Goth, modelled on Dolgoch of the Talyllyn, The other was based on Prince of the Festiniog. The railway can be seen at work in a video - Little Trains of Lincolnshire - Vol. 1 from PM Video.

A short visit to the railway on the last day of steam for 0-4-0ST Peckett No. 1749, running as Fulstow No. 2, when Peckett No. 2000 from Barrow Hill assisted. This loco is to stay on the Wolds for a while until the smaller engine is overhauled. More recent developments find Hughes No. 6 from Foxfield in steam here.

LINCOLNSHIRE LIGHT RAILWAY - Spring 1994 - Part 3
Added: 03 March 2008 LINCOLNSHIRE LIGHT RAILWAY - Spring 1994 - Part 3 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. This is the final episode - more of this railway later perhaps. Alan's wife. Sheila died a couple of months later, and the railway and contents of the museum were sold by auction. I caught up with the railway a few years later at the new Transperience museum near Bradford and was allowed to drive Goth once again....

KIRKBY GREEN - NEW PACIFIC STEAMS AGAIN
Kirkby Green Light Railway - Stuart Ravell launches his newly restored Corwen Pacific. First - a tentative light engine circuit during which he stopped at a prearranged spot in front of the water-mill for the photographers - i.e. Neville Knight, Lawson Little, Laurence Hill and yours truly on video camera. The new loco is an impressive engine. Were it not for the maroon livery, it would resemble an 'A1' and is just as impressive. The two Atlantics ran also, with a further engine in the shed awating work. We also see the small-scale tram engine and an impressive Rio Grande diesel came out later, with double headed Atlantics too.
