It was bound to happen! Whilst ‘exploring’ some of the recently exposed sidings to the rear of Francis Street, 22 pushed the gauge apart and as a result dropped one driving wheel off the rails. Fortunately we were able to re-rail the loco in only ten minutes, much to the amusement of the appreciative crowd who gathered to witness the activity!

We are no longer using this section of track but I am hopeful that we will be able to relay the whole area relatively quickly, if partnership plans with a local firm come to fruition. Watch this space…
