THE NEWDIGATE LIGHT RAILWAY - ELSECAR

Michael Thacker's line is (like his house) fairly newly built on a site which slopes in two directions. This shot, contributed by Mike, shows one slope.............

........ and this shows the other.

A LOT of earth moving was required!

From the steaming-up bay, the branch line joins the main line at a triangular junction ............

The main line then runs past the raised lawn and into a tunnel.......

........ the top of which is cunningly made from decking board.............

...... before bursting out into what will be the main station area.

Selwyn demonstrates that he can drive a train and take its picture at the same time!

The station area's a bit bare at present...................

The steaming up area is just at the right height

Selwyn brought his Lady Anne............

.

Dave Billiard brought a fairly ancient Roundhose Fowler.............

............ and a short rake of passenger stock..........

..... and late on in the day, the line's owner ran a W&L frieght.

I thought we had it bad for recycling, but this lot takes the biscuit!
