Reunited - The sequel!

Today was my first day volunteering at a Rocks By Rail Museum 2025 event. The Easter events had been cancelled due to unforeseen complications with the trackwork relay project so the Museum's 2025 season officially started on Sunday and the continued today. In fact it was a close call with the pedestrian crossing that I talked about in Thursday's post being finally finished at 7.30pm on Saturday!

For me it was a day as a shunter which meant I was reunited with this!

Yes! The good old point switch that I had become so familiar with last year was once again back in my life! However, it was good to do some shunting and a great time was had by all including a lot of positive comments about the viewing platform that we built over the Winter.

Shunting wise it took a few turns to remember from last year but all was good with wagons shunted and guests entertained.

There were plenty of other things going on such as the brake van rides which gave a view of the VE80 flag flying from the newly installed flag pole.

Being VE80 Day the loco was suitably decorated.

All in all a great start to the 2025 season and next week it is Driver 4 a Fiver so that should be another good day. However it will be a few more weeks before the point lever and me are reunited again!
