    Wouldn't it have been even easier if they had just left things the way they were? We went metric 47 years ago but thank goodness we still use miles on the railways.

    For those interested, the scaffolding has gone up at Leek Brook as work begins on the CVLLP Project. Phase1 is the restoration of the signal box, with a power supply having already been installed. Work is now to concentrate on the actual box itself.

    Brilliant.

    at long last the old box is being restored 'properly'.

    Can't wait to see it finished.

    Both the N7 and the S160 were light steam tonight, the S160 will be on further test runs tomorrow and should be hauling the santa services over the weekend.

    Regards

    Chris

    Do the Santa trains board at Cheddleton or Froghall, also does anyone know if they're fully booked?

    thanks!
