It might have been cold, it might have been windy, it might have been wet, but I had a smile as wide as the track gauge on my face at the Rocks By Rail Museum Members Day today. There was a engine in steam and with attached brake vans I got to ride the section of track where I have been involved in digging out, washing and repacking ballast to level the track. I am told it was a lot smoother than before so suddenly the back aches and creaking joints become even more worth it!
Not going to say much more other than the photos and a film clip (produced by the WMD HQ Film Crew who still need to hone their art) show what some determination and hard work by the guys at this museum can achieve. The Museum opens to the public at Easter so I hope visitors will come and enjoy everything on offer, hopefully in warmer and drier weather! Have a look what's going on in 2022 by clicking here.
