Just one of those days
Occasionally we have a day where everything aligns and it’s as near a perfect day as you can get.
Yesterday August 4th was such a day.
The weather was just right, not too hot, not too cold.
The trains all ran to within a minute of time and we were busy.
It was a perfect day, and here’s to many more of them as we trundle through summer.
If you were one of the visitors who travelled yesterday, we hope you enjoyed the experience and come and visit us again soon.
It’s big loco time.
One thing that’s always popular with volunteers and visitors alike is the visit of a big loco.
The 15th August sees the arrival of the locomotive “Bahamas.”
Now I could wax lyrical about all the events that it will be doing whilst it’s with us, but instead please look at the main railway web page at www.nvr.org.uk for the latest information.
If you can’t visit the railway and experience a ride behind the locomotive then please remember the cameras we have via Railcam covering Wansford and Orton Mere. The Railcam site is at www.railcam.uk. If you are not a member of Railcam then one of our two Wansford cams can be seen on YouTube.
Here is the YouTube feed of our main Wansford cam.
It will be a super visit so please come along to one of the events and travel behind this superb locomotive. As good as they are cameras are no substitute for a trip behind a locomotive.
I will be on the YouTube cam chat on most of the Bahama running days so if you have any questions or queries then please give “Old Arkwright” a yell. Though please note I can’t deal with ticket or booking enquiries.
One year and counting.
Well the blog was one year old yesterday. How time flies.
My thanks to all who have contributed in the first year and keep eye out for more stuff in the coming 12 months.
