The site is very tidy- a credit to the volunteers who carry outthe work.
Since my last visit a lot has changed- the work to re-align the foot trail has been realised before the bird nesting season prevents further tree work.
Movement of the Hudswell Diesel is evidence that driver training is well advanced.
As usual the cafe was serving excellent snacks and cake.
The CCT has seen better days but is in use constantly.
There are several wagons around the site all restored - a couple are from the S&D trust at Washford.
One of the pair of Polish built USA Tanks- the other has been dismantled and slowly being restored.
The cab and tanks have been painted and await fitment but that may be a while yet.
A view of the down line towards Blandford.
The signal box has been restored for some time and is ready for use.
A final picture looking north towards Sturminster Newton.
Stur is the goal for the railway which is progressing towards the viduct, spoil being used beyond to restore alignment.
