    Meanwhile. . .

    Our resident class 73 locomotive (73129) has rejoined the serviceable fleet after winter maintenance. ( http://www.heritage-railways.com/locosdb/locosdb2.php?RefNo=3388 )
    The work has seen the engine silencer replaced, the pocket roof section it fits in repaired, a deep clean of the engine room which included lifting the floor plates, two windows replaced, refurbishment of the TDR2 relay, general contactor cleaning and a range of smaller jobs.

    There have also been some recent rolling stock changes:
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Pacer 142 set 142055 (consisting of Class 142 'Pacer' DMSL 55751 and Class 142 'Pacer' DMS 55705) moved from Foxfield to the Cambrian Heritage Railways, Llynclys site on 7/5/2024.
    The set is owned by ‘The 142055 Group’ who have a website at https://www.the142055group.org/

    The same lorries that brought the Pacers were also used to transfer a couple of the CHR 101 DMU cars from Llynclys to Oswestry
    BR 51205 Class 101 DMU: Driving Motor Brake Second (http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=4956)
    BR 51512 Class 101 DMU: Driving Motor Composite Lavatory (http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=4880)

    --------------------------------------------------
    At end of April, BR Mk1 BSK 35334 which recently completed restoration was transferred to Oswestry to join operational fleet. ( http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=1906 )

    A good weekend at Oswestry with Austin 1 brought a big increase in visitors to see our first steam haulage in 2024. I was 2nd man on the class 73 diesel on Sunday, but looking forward to my turn firing Austin 1 one day soon.

    Many thanks for posting that. It's been too long since I was there, life has not gone as planned.

    Yes. Had several turns on Austin this year. :D It's a little easier than the Grant Ritchie we had last year as the GR was a bit small for our needs. Austin being a bit larger has a bit in reserve.
    PS. Your link is a nice video, but I wasn't there that day (Sat). Was Fireman the next day (and most Sundays in Aug) though. :D

    Picked the wrong post to reply to... Old age/stress/stupidity, could be any one of those!
    A bigger boiler gives you a bit of margin to play with.

    At last. . . the scaffolding is down (after about 4 years!) and the renovated Oswestry Station building is revealed. A new roof and repaired stonework.

    The station is not the only thing that's been repainted over this winter. . .

    A few finishing touches still to be done (such as refitting the name plates).
