    I see a few bits of news from Facebook in the last week or so.

    Following on from it's unfortunate graffiti attack, the railway's Thumper unit has now been painted into British Rail Blue livery.

    Secondly it seems that Class 73 73140 is leaving the railway following the Diesel Gala this weekend.

    If anyone is interested, we have a visiting Class 47 for the next few weeks in the shape of 47580 ‘County of Essex’ visiting from the Mid Norfolk Railway.

    Whilst it isn’t everybody’s cup of tea on this forum our Diesel Gala is this Friday 8th, Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th August. The 47 will be operating alongside 08922, 09004, 25185, 31430, 73140, and 1317 which is appearing in its new BR Blue livery.

    Cask real ale and fresh cider is available from our bar car ‘Kate’ all three days. At this time of year our cask chilling machine is put to good use!

    34053 is due back sometime next week.

    I was part of the group of us that went on Sunday but I went unbranded. My branded clothing is rather work worn!
