The 'Harvesters' crossing, is indeed a long way south of the carriage shed, and completely out of sight of the station.
I remember many years ago, a couple of walkers had made their way (by public paths) as far as the crossing at Harvesters. The lady of the couple...
I remember us doing this at Quainton. A separate charging valve was fitted to one of the lifting injectors of NBL24564/39(Coventry No1). If I...

I remember a film job at Quainton Rd, many years ago, the film company promised that they would use paint which washed off easily. Of course the...
I have seen reports of minor work being carried out on 6984, but since these were in a 'members only' Facebook group, I suppose that doesn't count...

I would love to see the three 'Petite Peckets'§ working together. Sadly it seems we are doomed to only have one serviceable at a time. Maybe...
