    Hello all, I though I would bring your attention to a new blog covering the exploits of the Dean Forest p/way gang. Its only early days yet but having seen the success of the Glos&Warks blogs it seemed like a good idea to do one in order to spread the word!

    I hope you enjoy it!

    Thanks for taking the time to setup and publicise your blog. It's always interesting to find out what's going on at the Dean Forest Railway and I hope that this new blog will generate a lot of hits from others as time goes by.
    Cheers,

    It was shunted into the headshunt at Parkend last ime I looked. Its probably moved now due to the Diesel Gala we're running. They havent been used for a while as we havent had a major relaying session for a while and they are a little cumbersome for other duties.
