    UPDATE 9TH APRIL 2009

    during the last 2 weeks, following the granting of planning permission to extend the S&D south towards Chilcompton, Roger Penny plant hire from Ston Easton have had 2 slews rip out all the tree stumps and grade 1000 feet of double trackbed, cess and lineside back to earth and old ballast. 2 new culverts 48a and 48b have been put in, the lineside refenced and the down cess draining system rebuilt. the whole vista is incredible. by autumn, they hope to have the catch point, south crossover, down main and down engineers siding all laid. they have enough materials except for crossing timbers for parts of the pointwork. Progress should be swift. If anyone has contacts on NR or know of sources of crossing timbers unknown to the S&DRHT guys, please get in touch via the website sdjr.co.uk. I'm off to shillingstone this sunday to continue laying the up main through the platform road, ballasting etc.

    happy easter Nick
