Group of us went to Foxfield to-day to pick up 140 chairs for the ashpit siding. Another tick on the list! Best wishes, John H-T.

Final fixing and clearing up at Duffield 13.1.2010
All the loop and mainline track is now down at Duffield and today and tomorrow should see everything screwed down and clipped. Jacking, packing and slewing will wait for warmer weather when the sleepers and ballast are not frozen! There is also the platform to rebuild!
A few photos from today, including laying the sleepers in Duffield tunnel for the north end headshunt. ...... and yes it was snowing again! Best wishes, John H-T.

Just a view of the Wirksworth platform at Duffield from long ago:
(The picture is a screen grab from the DVD "KIRTLEY JOHNSON CO" a film made in 1962 by the BBC in their series "Railway Roundabout" available as part of a DVD published by www.dukevideo.com, included for the purposes of discussion (and may interest people in buying their own copy) Last edited by wyvern; 27th February 2010 at 23:38.

I assume so 62440, in company with the Kirltley 2-4-0, the compound and the Tilbury 4-4-2T. As far as I know it was the only time all four of them went up the branch together. There are some lovely posed photos of them in Wirksworth yard, especially the Compound and the Single.
Best wishes, John H-T.

Yes John, I have seen a few of them. The compound at least got dragged up the branch twice, took it all the way back to Derby to turn it round so's the other side could be photographed. See the Railway Roundabout DVD's for details. It's the 1959 disc, not 1958 as I posted previously.
Regards, 62440.
