Churnet Valley Railway General Discussion

Hi, which engine is out tomorrow?

Also, here is a little video of TKH2944 taken on Sunday at Consall.

 

Evening,

Today's (20th Feb) works party down at Nature Reserve crossing/Podmores, a steady team of 5 carried out more work on the river side, Cheers for today lads!! Photos below..........

 

TKh in use until the Gala.
March should then see 6046 in use up until Easter.
Easter is TBC.

Nice video, that section lot better now we taken 4/5 trees out. If anyone with a chainsaw is reading, there a further 15 to take out there if you wish to join...

 

S160 6046 on her loaded test run along the Cauldon Lowe branch today, 23rd Feb! She certainly made her self known! Shots at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/frank47524/albums/72157664431681850

Remember it's the Winter steam gala THIS weekend!!

 

Afternoon all,

The full Winter Steam Gala set is now online at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/frank47524/albums/72157665066353182

 

I understand a DMU vehicle has left the Churnet Valley Railway in the last week or so bound for the East Lancs Railway. Anyone know which?

 

I would be surprised if anything has left in the last few weeks as we have had no road access.

 

DMU centre car E59701 left CVR to return to Wensleydale, having been on hire since 2010. A temporary solution to the access issue was found, but a more permanent solution has now been agreed and so we should be able to allow road movements once again.

Mk2 M5175 is due to leave for its new home at Ecclesbourne within the coming weeks too.

 

S160 6046 is out solo this weekend to Ipstones.
Trains depart Froghall at 10:00 and 12:35.
See anyone who's about Saturday, as I'm firing!

How much is the house on the market for?

 

Answered my own question, after a fair amount of digging - £600k.

Fabulous looking place inside although, having had my own house and garden under water earlier this year, I'm not sure I'd be keen for a canal on one side and a river on the other now...

 

Thanks, you're absolutely right there. That's a bit more affordable. Still more than I could sell my gaff for, though.
