Statfold Barn Open Day 7th June

Hello!
If you are coming to the Open Day, don't forget to drop by the Garden Railway and say 'Hello'

 

Ah your in the garden again?

I have the lovely Sybil Mary makes me rather happy.

 

Yup, I'm getting dizzy.........

 

can't make it in June, so I won't be able to take your pic again Ian

 

And what can we expect in the garden? Maude?

 

Very much looking forward to this!

 

Another excellent day at Statfold, thanks to all those people who make it possible.

 

Good to meet you today 48DL and thanks for the advice!

 

What was the news from this open day?

 

Josephine now looks like this....

 

Looking good, a good pairing with Trankgil 4 I would imagine in September!

 

A couple of questions for the Statfold folk - I see that the new Lynton coaches were stored in the grain store. Are there plans for these to run in their current form at Statfold? The two new big American diesels (Plymouths?), do any plans or dimentions exist? I quite fancy a model!

Thanks,

Ben

 

My footage from the SBR's June open day.

 

Superb Video. Shame there was not much parrellel running this time or so it appears in your video. Always September Open Day

 

Would anyone be able to clarify which of the SBR's steam locos are 2' gauge and which are 2'6'' gauge?

 

Is that the ex-Durley Light Railway Josephine? I'd spent many a happy day on her footplate (used to live in the next village over). Gutted she's not local anymore, but glad she's look in tip-top shape!

 

Yep that's the one

It's a long way from Hampshire unfortunately! I will look forward to some photographs on here. Is she going to be re-gauged again, or stick with 2ft?
