On the 12¼" gauge, visiting was 'Naomi' from the Exbury Gardens Railway. The event was not
crowded, no doubt not helped by an appalling weather forecast (both content and accuracy), which
despite ever increasing winds that eventually halted the Barmouth Ferry later in the afternoon was in
fact dry and occasionally sunny! At Barmouth Ferry station the diminutive 5/7¼" railway operated by
the FR resident electrician was in operation along its now 50 yards length - there is a bit more track
available - and plenty of space. His own loco, 'Netty' a 4w battery electric, took most of the trains as
the steam loco broke down after only covering about 30 yards! Rides were freely available. The line in
fact has no 7¼" gauge locos or stock, however there is an occasional visiting 7¼" gauge loco, which was
not present at the gala. It was a well planned and extensive event with various stalls and marquees
displaying model railways. It deserved to do better on patronage, but considering the Sunday was
really wet it is doubtful it did any better the following day.

Another member visited the railway on Tuesday 31 July 2018. The ferry from Barmouth harbour was
operating on demand, £2 per person, and only takes five minutes to cross to Barmouth Ferry station.
Two trains were in service, hauled by 759 'Yeo' in Southern Railway livery, and 'Sherpa', with diesel
'Gwril' on standby. The former balloon loop is out of use, with the points disconnected; arriving trains
use what had been the departure side, hence the loco now has to run-round. Only the departure side
of the once island platform remains. Intermediate halts are clearly marked with name boards, on the
south side; these are from Barmouth Ferry, Estuary Halt (a recent addition, just east of the Jack Steele
Tunnel), Loop Halt (east of the passing loop), Golf Halt (with its bizarrely long 'Welshified' name in
small letters beneath: Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddollônpenrhynareurdraethceredigion)
and Beach Halt. Fairbourne boasts a large model railway layout, but the museum, aside from the out
of use loco 'Beddgelert', is basically a large collection of interesting photos and postcards.

MR178] Corris Railway, Gwynedd (MR p29) (BLNs 1304.994 (major article) & 1306.1136): At work on
Saturday 28 July was steam Loco 7, with the entire fleet (one 4-wheel and two bogie coaches).
The loco propels southbound, as there is no run-round at Corris. There are now two platforms at
Maespoeth, the one alongside the loco shed having been replaced by one further south, adjacent to
the new carriage shed. The 35-minute break here includes a talk on the line's history, and tours of both
loco and carriage sheds; the latter includes two new bogie coaches under construction, and a
collection of parts, which ultimately will become a second steam locomotive. Three diesels were on
hand. The museum at Corris includes the partially restored body of an original Corris Railway coach.

MR179] Talyllyn Railway, Gwynedd (MR p30) (BLN 1177.MR20): Following approval by the line's
Preservation Society Council, plans are being developed for a new road and rail connected engineering
facility in Pendre Enterprise Park, on the north side of the line on the east side of Pendre level crossing.
This would enable the railway to carry out virtually all locomotive and carriage maintenance in-house.
The existing Pendre site would remain the operational hub still equipped to deal with running repairs
but with new facilities for volunteers and passenger-accessible heritage engineering displays.

On Sunday 29 July there were two trains in service - hauled by 'Dolgoch' and 'Edward Thomas'. Tywyn
Wharf Museum is well worth an extended visit, covering narrow gauge exhibits and memorabilia from
far and wide. An interesting piece of local terminology is that operations are controlled from what are
called Block Posts and, in the absence of fixed signals, probably more appropriate than 'Signal Boxes'.
Wayside stopping places at Hendy, Fach Goch, Cynfal and Tynllwyn Hen are marked by nameboards.

Like the stations, these are all on the north side (the coaches only have doors on this side), but none
was called at by our reporter's trains. Quarry Siding has a Block Post, which also serves as a stopping
place. A 29-minute stop at Abergynolwyn on the return journey allows time to patronise the café and
toilets, while a ticket check takes place on the return at Dolgoch (which has now lost its 'Falls' suffix).
Foul weather made it necessary to keep the lights on for the whole of the return journey!

MR180] Rio Grande Miniature Railway, West Yorkshire (BLN1246.MR198): This 10¼" gauge railway
once ran in the grounds of the Saville Brothers Garden Centre at Garforth. It was out of use by mid
July 2014 and the Garden Centre itself had closed by 29 July 2014. An inspection on Tuesday 31 July
2018 found that the Garden Centre had been totally re-built as a Strikes Garden Centre and
Restaurant, with a much larger building. It appeared to have only recently opened. The other Strikes
Garden Centre down the road is now closed. The part of the railway in the adjacent field is still there,
with soil dumped on one section, and getting very overgrown. The area in front of the Garden Centre
has been redone; the only remaining building is the old Café, which is now an aquatic centre.

1312 FIXTURES REPORTS (Paul Stewart) [email protected]
1918] Spa Valley Railway; 2 Aug 2018: Various BLS
members were seen heading for the Spa Valley station at
Tunbridge Wells West, obviously something worthwhile
was on the horizon. Participants were met by a friendly
BLS fixtures team face, Gary Pullan, who oversaw their
arrival. The Spa Valley Railway managed the trip, so the
usual multitude of 'orange' BLS volunteers was not
required. Promptly our group was shepherded towards P2
at 12.30 to board the DEMU set (60142 & 60916 - the
latter incorrectly carrying 60909) instead of the advertised
single DMU coach as ticket sales had been so good.

It was in Shed Road 2 and boarding (of the 29 members and a similar number also booked by the

railway) was in stages via a set of steps into various sections of the unit starting with the leading

trailer. Then the DEMU drew forward to the station throat for the first of 15 reversals in total, which

was to the Run Round Line to attach 73140 before doing the yard Headshunt (previously the running

line before being damaged by the Nov 2012 landslip). With the '73' powering, the tour returned to the

run-round loop, but not before the stepladder was required to set down some very overheated

passengers who had not realised what sort of trip this would be in the heat wave! Next it returned to

P2 where two shunters 'Colonel Tomline' (D3489) and Drewry 'Southerham' (2591) were added to the

south end (front) of the unit. (All souvenir tickets thanks to Jim Sellens as usual.)

Now 30 minutes late, it was off to Groombridge with both shunters appearing to work hard at times
judging by the amount of clag. At Groombridge loop both Ashurst spurs were full of stock; some
sheeted over, others looking in need of much attention and this was not thought to be a good sign.
However, 'Southerham' ran round and stayed on the Tunbridge Wells West side of the loop. Then
'Colonel Tomline' proceeded into the right hand of the two sidings and attached to the stock, mainly
the set of coaches that is used regularly. It then dragged everything out into the loop with a very sad
looking '9104' right at the end. Things were looking up! Meanwhile the DEMU had taken participants
to the end of the Engineer's Siding (which was the Up Tunbridge line in British Rail double track days).

Our train pulled forward, returning to the loop, and then reversed right up to the sleeper across the
very end of the siding. One side successfully done, the tour returned to the loop and reversed back to
the Engineer's Siding. 'Colonel Tomline' then set back with its consist, uncoupled and returned to the
loop. Some were surprised when it ran to the left hand siding and attached to the brake van at the
end. Having seen the state of some of the stock in this siding we had thought it could not possibly be
moved, but the whole siding was emptied and the contents pulled out to the end of the loop.
While this was in progress participants watched the 'top & tailed' service go back and forth between
Tunbridge Wells West and Eridge with 33063 and 33201. Then it was back to the loop, only this time
to the very end of the left-hand siding, so both sidings were well and truly covered (for the final time).

[BLN 1312]
Leaving both shunters at Groombridge the tour proceeded out of the loop to the normal P2 at Eridge.
There was a much needed leg stretch and chance to purchase ice creams and drinks (also much
needed!). Back on the unit it was off towards Uckfield, well to the buffer stop at the end of the line.
Another bit of track successfully covered. Return through P2 cleared the points to enter bay P3 and all
available track at Eridge was covered. There was just time to collect a few passengers for Tunbridge
Wells West and it was back to Groombridge loop where a very late running service train was crossed.
The two shunters were reattached with 'Southerham' leading and worked to Groombridge station to
pick up a few passengers, before returning to Tunbridge Wells West P1 by now 58 mins late at 16.35.

We do wonder where the Spa Valley will store all the stock when they lose the two sidings as there is
very little spare space on the railway. The available track on this tour was not great because of this and
extra visiting locos for the diesel gala, but by carrying out much shunting the tour covered the most
important and needed bits of the Ashurst Spurs completely. An excellent appetizer to their Diesel
Gala. Track not done was either occupied or could be achieved on the Class 33 service train. So, all in
all, a successful day for many; the usual thanks to the BLS team, the Spa Valley and their volunteers.
One of the staff took a small group of members round the shed after the trip into areas not otherwise
accessible which was much appreciated. [A composite of three reports received with thanks - Ed.]

Oxted. Trains were sometimes split or joined here. (Gary Pullan)

1919] North Wales signalboxes Part III; 3 Aug: Ten members met at Penmaenmawr and were joined
by our Network Rail friend, local Mobile Operations Manager Mark Owen. The box here dates from
1952 and is a modified London Midland Region type 14, gaining unusual (and ugly) small windows in
place of the originals in the 1990s. There are 25 levers, one releases Aber ground frame, with seven
spare (levers 8-10 are missing). A facing crossover (motor worked) gives access to the stone loading
sidings (out of use since 2010). Signals are colour light and most tracks fitted with track circuits or axle
counters. Warning lights, treadle operated, indicate the presence of a train in Penyclip tunnel.

We next went to Aber emergency ground frame, near the village of Abergwyngregyn. This has three
levers: one is a release lever and the other two control each end of the trailing crossover. It is regularly
tested weekly. There is a small cabin with telephone on the opposite side of the line, and the original
station building (somewhat modified) is nearby.

After that we headed to Bangor, where the London and North Western Railway type 5 box, dating
from 1923, is at the west end between the station and the tunnel. It was formerly Bangor No2 and has
60 levers (with 20 spare) arranged in three groups. Control extends into Anglesey, including the single
line over the Britannia Bridge, the next block post being Gaerwen. Because of the constricted space in
the cutting, the locking room is reached by an internal staircase and a relay area occupies what was
once part of the operating floor (at the west end).

Mark then guided us to each end of the Britannia Bridge, to view the railway level. It was interesting to
see that there was room (in principle) to restore the second (Up) track, although the space is partially
occupied by two large pipes. Unfortunately owing to mobility problems on a temporary footpath your
reporter could not visit the eastern end properly, with its exhibits and other features of interest.

to the right. PREVIOUS PAGE LOWER: Penmaenmawr Signal Box interior.

Our last visit was to the gate box at what is usually known as Llanfair, although the station is named
Llanfairpwll and the village has a much longer name exhibited on the station building. This is also
painted on a board on the side of the box, with the English translation of the several Welsh
components of the name. There are four levers, all controlling the road gates (hand worked) and the
wickets, on this small Chester & Holyhead structure dating from about 1871. For those of us returning
to Llandudno Junction by road our host took us to see the token instrument which is unusually
situated in the station building and even more unusually is operated by a member of the station staff,
since the signalbox is not well placed for token delivery for the section to Llanrwst.
Our thanks are very much to Mark Owen, who spared no effort in showing us everything of interest,
and of course to Barney Clark for making the arrangements, which were admirable. As a result of the
visits £204 was raised amongst the participants for Network Rail's nominated charity Barnardo's.

1920] The Beeches Light Railway, Sat 25 Aug: (By Andrew Murray) 60 members making up half of the

visitors present (and very kindly increased from the original limit) gathered at Adrian Shooter's home

at midday to sample his 2ft gauge private railway of nearly a mile built between 2002 and 2004.

The afternoon began with a welcoming speech from Mr Shooter himself from the footplate of his blue

Darjeeling steam loco at station (Rinkingpong Road). He introduced the various

groups attending, including several railway as well as motor vehicle groups (with their smart Morgan

and other classic cars), and of note, relatives of the original visionary of the Darjeeling Railway.

His Railway crosses the drive to the house near the garage block which itself has rail access. A few of
the classic cars almost drove down the tracks to access the paddock often followed by the inimitable
Martyn Brailsford shouting for them to stop! The cars were displayed in the middle of the paddock.

Everyone was invited to travel on the first train of the day which left the only station, Rinkingpong

Road very much in Darjeeling Railway style, at 12.40. It was made up of the Sharp Stewart 1888 built
Darjeeling loco No19, works No3518, and two matching replica Darjeeling coaches.

The railway (ABOVE) is basically two single-line circuits, the east one (RIGHT) round the house and
garden and the west (LEFT) encircles the paddock. They run alongside each other through the station
but the only platform is on the east side. A scissors crossover at the station connects the two. Further
connecting lines north and south of the station join the two circuits to form a large perimeter oval.

The first train departed southward out of the station anti-clockwise round the east circuit past the
gardens and house. There is a significant uphill gradient, up to 1 in 20, beginning where the line
crosses the house drive (top right on the track plan) all the way through the trees and along the
connecting line to the west circuit. Despite the best efforts of the train crew and some very dramatic
sound effects from the engine, the track was just too greasy for the train to ascend on this first run and
it had to drawback and take another run. This did look a bit 'iffy' again but the skill and experience of
the crew, and some helpful sand on the track, got us through and onto the west circuit. We navigated
this around the paddock and the southern connection back onto the east circuit and up the hill to the
west circuit again with rather less effort. The train ran over the large perimeter circuit seven times
non-stop before arriving back at the station around when our 'BLS specials' were due to run.

There are two three-road sheds inside the eastern circuit; the loco shed backs onto the station and the
carriage shed between the station and the house. Outside the east circuit is a further storage shed
(wooden) with a second on the far side of the drive in the garage block. We were split into two groups
to fit on the single carriage special which was waiting on carriage Shed Line 1. Traction was diesel
hydraulic Hunslet 'Col. Frederick Wylie', works No9349 of 1994, rebuilt by Alan Keef in 2004. Leaving
the Carriage Shed it ran anti-clockwise around the east circuit then the north connection, reversed and
propelled onto the siding to the storage sheds; unfortunately a tree obstructed the wide coach from
going right down the siding. After this siding the train continued anti-clockwise and reversed back into
the carriage shed for the first group to alight and the second to repeat the trip. It is thought to be the

first time these tracks were covered by passenger
trains (and a first for the driver!).

From our arrival until the first passenger train,
Adrian ran one of his former Mail Rail sets, green
No37, built by English Electric to works No760 in
1930. This was hauled and propelled around the
west circuit by Motor Rail 'Major Gerald Scott' of
1957 works No21619. Two more Mail Rail power
bogies were in the storage shed, from set No44,
also built by English Electric in 1930, works No 812.

The Darjeeling train then made another run until 14.00 when it was lunchtime; a very well-prepared
barbecue (they were clearly used to catering for 130!) and deservedly the train crew were first! After
lunch it was back onto the Darjeeling train again for a 'non-standard' run. The usual departure
anti-clockwise around the east circuit was followed by the train running straight back round through
the station and across the crossover onto the west side clockwise with three clockwise perimeter trips
arriving back at the station in the northward direction. Mr Shooter was noted in control as the train
did these unusual clockwise circuits of the railway. After a short pause, the train departed again
northward out of the station to head clockwise again around the east side, back to the station and
across the other part of the scissors crossover. The train then made six full perimeter circuits arriving
back at the station in the standard way, just before 15.00. Except for the crossovers, which were each
traversed once, every running line had been done at least once in both directions. Then members
started to head off - some to conveniently do bits of the new Oxford layout (see BLN 1312.1768).

The Darjeeling train did, however, carry on giving standard rides and another non-standard run
covering both crossovers and the full western circuit again. Two items of motive power not used
during the day, both in the loco shed, were a Robert Hudson diesel mechanical, works No38384, built
in 1930, and 'Model T' railcar, built in 2008 at Statfold Barn in the name of Hunslet and given the works
No9901. It was an excellent afternoon, we couldn't have asked for more, with the weather being on
our side too. We thank Adrian Shooter profusely for hosting this fantastic event at his home and

letting us 'hijack' his trains for
the afternoon, and also all of his
volunteers, both for running the
trains and for providing lunch.
Also thanks to Martyn for
organising it with Adrian.
Pleasingly, our visit (which was
fully booked very quickly) also
resulted in £1,800 being
donated to charities of Adrian's
choice. LEFT: The drive, running
