CH 19's Recent Activity

  1. CH 19 liked 73108's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

    Which, ironically, is exactly what we do. Train to Newtondale, walk to Levisham (a very pleasant one along easy terrain and, as a bonus, almost all downhill). Then we sit on the station and eat a picnic while enjoying the glorious peace and...

  2. CH 19 liked JBTEvans's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.

  3. CH 19 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread 35025 Brocklebank Line.

  4. CH 19 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Current and Proposed New-Builds.

    Crampton Locomotive - this is a project that for a long time seemed to have gone into abeyance, but has flared into life over the last year or two, with really significant progress. https://cramptonlocomotivetrust.org/ The website has had a...

  6. CH 19 liked jnc's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.

    And here is the promised track laying visual summary: Section 5c Overview - 6 Aug 26 The plain images (in addition to the several pan- and zoom-able images) are worth enlarging; lots of interesting details to be seen there (e.g. stacked...

  7. CH 19 liked hyboy's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.

  9. CH 19 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
