First school visit of 2011 Monday 25th June was one the wettest days in South Yorkshire since records began. The railway track was flooded resulting a major works project having to be cancelled. Our member David Stubbins shows how to fry an egg using the firebox of a steam locomotive on a shovel. Includes the Winston Churchill Look-a-Like Stuart Lamming
On June 25th 2007 a work force of 20 able bodied volunteers had been offered by a large a national bank to start work on preparing the station area for concreting, but that turned out to be the day that 4 inches of was deposited in he area causing extensive flooding. The project had to be cancelled and it has been slow progress to carry out the work, but just less than twelve months later the project started in 2007 was completed on the 4th June 2008. Whilst our members put many hours in at the railway in Thorne and in their work shops, some members are also helping with other voluntary groups locally and also some distance away. Once a year the railway opens specially for these groups so that the local group can enjoy a teatime visit to the railway. No way was a drop of rain going to spoil the visit to the railway for these youngsters. A look at the developments in Sandall Park in Doncaster |
