West Somerset Railway General Discussion

You mean the ex-trustees aren't all there?

 

Back to the real WSR.

Another in the occasional series of WSR 'then and now'.

In the interests of not getting banned I decline to elaborate!

 

Thanks, Peter. That works fine.

Liking the before and after pictures. Thxs for sharing.

 

Nope! at least one is away with the fairies, the others .... well ....

 

You are welcome. Sorry it did not work the first time. Mea culpa.

 

I can't say the garden at Station House, Stogumber is looking it's best at the moment, the weather was a bit grey today, and there is a distinct lack of trains, but then these little chaps pop up to remind us that there is an exciting year to come......

Ah, the first breeze blocks of spring!

 

you mean concrete blocks. breeze were made from residual product - coke breeze i e very small bits from screenings -- from the old gas works after the war

 

Showing your age!!!

However Hemelite produced fly ash filled concrete blocks in Hemel Hempstead up to the early 1980's , now made elsewhere under the same brand name.

And with coal fired power stations closing, where will they be made, or replaced by?

 

Great to see a different view of the progress with your garden. I expect we are all starting to miss the trains a bit now. Seems ages until March! (I know the DMU will be running in Feb before you all jump on me.)

 

Well these DMU things aren't a proper train, as there isn't a steam engine pulling the train, or running as a auto train.

 

Oh! Dear

 

DMU are proper trains. All steam, diesel and electric trains are proper trains.

 

train treɪn/ noun - 1. a device for conveying a red lamp or LV board through a section...

I do not recall the last time I saw a wedding train with a red light attached to the rear.




Must be going to the wrong weddings
