    Thanks Chris. Any idea of expected timescales? Also any idea what is planned for the June "Anything Goes" weekend?

    2-train timetable along the CVR. TKh + 33102 in operation, and we're negotiating for something extra as well. Once I have a signed agreement we'll make things more public. Our Janus shunter "Roger" will also be doing Driver for a Fiver at Cheddleton if a driver can be sourced. Hopefully be able to make a bigger announcement come the end of the month :)

    N7 warming fire is going in as I speak ahead of her final weekend.

    Look forward to having some of you visit us for this. She will be performing 5x Return Trips along the CVR, first departure from Cheddleton at 10:32.

    Had my first visit to the CVR yesterday, what a super little line! Great scenery (even in the pouring rain) and really friendly staff, I will definitely come back sometime.

    Had to take the opportunity to see the N7 before it was too late. Having grown up down the road from Chappel it was a bit like seeing an old friend - though I think I must have been a young kid last time I saw it at the EARM.
