Dateline: Saturday 9th May - back at the track again, this is the 3rd working bee on this section of ‘Slotted’ track, this time replacing 6 sleepers, bringing the total to about 25 and the conclusion of this repair. This will keep this section safe for the foreseeable future. We will be testing the track on Sunday 31st May in readiness for our June 7th Runday, which co-incidentally is also on the Kings Birthday weekend and the run we are having at the Postponed Steam Rally. See our previous post for Steam Rally info.

An aside: We can’t recall if our June Run Day & a Steam Rally weekend run have ever coincided before.

Well that’s it for this post. See you on the 7th June.

Sadly we have had to CANCEL our Easter run due to some members changed Easter commitments. We apologise for this short notice, but without a sufficient 'workforce' we cannot run without compromising Safety. Safety is Paramount,. Hopefully we'll have all the crew back for the MAY Run.

Hope everyone has a Safe and Happy Easter..

Dateline: Sunday 15th March 2026, a working bee to replace some ‘slotted’ sleepers. Some of the very old originals in the track section, - just after the road crossing near the traverser and before the ‘greenery tunnel’. Some of the sleepers in this section were replaced with the first generation of concrete sleepers laid at the track, probably goes back to 2009-10, anyways quite a few of the slotteds are sitting in the clay bed (still quite solid) but some are starting to release from the rail. Hence the working bee, several members convened to take care of the worst ones, I think we replaced about 12-15 in the 3 hours that we were there, it was OK temp. wise when we started at 9:30, but by 12- 12:30, it was getting a ‘tad warm’. Big thank you to all members who made the effort, esp. younger members Tom and Bryce, they took on the job of digging the old sleepers out. Job well done! Here's a few pic's of the event.

Well, that’s about it for this one, hoping to have a Run on EASTER SUNDAY 5TH APRIL.
