    Nice little set up, first time visit today. Annie was running and for £2.00 a ride must be one of the cheapest steam returns in the country. Nice little developing museum in the station with work ongoing.

    I will say I helped to dig out that signal box, was very hard and was rainning so much.
    The line has been extended about 60ft and will be ready to be put back infront of the station.
    Visit my links in the signature, loads of photo's of the M&GN line.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Thanks for posting , always nice to see updates of projects that are a little way away from you .

    Am I right in thinking that the plan is to relay track into the platform roads and presumably at some point rebuild the signal box ?
