Product Information

finally move the batteries out the old cupboard at darley so that the location can be removed for bens footbridge. The morning was spent taking the kids on the Santa Special, they seemed to have enjoyed themselves with the clowns,magic artists,Santa,presents,sweets and all provided and the trains all day were full,i believe that the bookings are well full this year which is probably the same around the country with the reccession and all someone mentioned the possibility of an lms freight train sometime,the idea is being looked into,but is in very early days, il leave it upto the official anouncements from those concerned, it would be lovely to see tims,andy`s,bens and the lmsca associations waggons running on that event day.. on a similar note were planning to put in another of Bens Midland signal posts by the crossing to illuminate the crossing,with a suitable midland style lamp top as the illumination on the crossing for both pedestrians and the signaller when working the gate is poor, i know i worked the box a fortnight ago!. the railway and the adjacent roofing buisness who share the access road to rowsley have complained to the council (theyre road) about the state of the surface again,awaiting action.

Chatting with Tony we are planning a painting session over the Christmas to New Year period so im thinking we will make a start on repainting the new box,the wood has been paid for so cant be far off delivery,so it looks like a new year start on replacing the rear boards. the gate wheel is now complete and it is planned to mount this upstairs in church lane box over the end of christmas week. Work continues on electrics for the inside ,the machine tools are all laid out ready for wiring in. You can choose your delivery options in your Giftware Wales shopping basket and apply the qualifying code. work on getting the box moved to rowsley isnt standing still,early days yet but there may be more news on this in the new year,things are at present being planned out so to speak.The group were working upon the National Railway museum coach,the side skins are on and the work looks realy really great,cant wait to see that finished. more work has been undertaken upon the locomotive shed/workshops,looking towards a finishing off within a couple of months.

Hopefully soon some more news on the footbridge as Bens down over Christmas and he has a recovery on the way over january to do with this, he may also be working on the station lamps at Darley Dale over Christmas. Mr Dyson and myself set to replacing the boarding on the rear of the ex Luffenham box today,by close of play three quarters of the rear have been done, this leaves one large panel and one small one on the rear and two small panels under the window end to finish off next time,i will also cut the pieces for the door which will go when the box goes up. fit the gate wheel in church lane,so its not sat in a store for umpteen years doing nowt .at least it will look the part. some gates still to fit to the down platform fence at darley as well as cut the metal tubular gate posts down to size.hoping for a january/february date for possible inspection of token works if the inspector is free,still working on final paperwork upon this to various departments happiness levels. on signalling and telecommunications, david and jim have been working away in Rowsley exchange, repairing various telecomunications items . ive undertaken to do more clearing out from under darley ex bamford signalbox,its now empty ready for lifting,which will be next year now. fishplate oiling and changing underway, finally the Santa season is upon us,so most of the volunteers work is on getting the place ready for this..... on the narrow gauge the volunteers have gained some waggon chassis complete from a quarry in derbyshire (cannot say where at present,an article on this should appear in the PEAK EXPRESS sometime.

fit a wooden location over the electric supply board under darley dale box so that it can then stand alone when the box comes down. i could see at least one regular volunteer on the class 50 locos working away against the rain at rowsley,but didnt get time to stop and chat unfortunately.

there are always a few issues relating to getting new turntables passed by those who officially do this thing,they are being worked on by the volunteers and the board as we all want to see it up n running very soon, i believe the remaining issues are all minor ones, but as its not my project i cant be 100 percent definite on any of the fine details,more will follow from those doing it boss!!
