Welcome to the Forum Chasewaterrailway.

Always enjoy my visits to Chasewater Railway. You have a great line up of locos! Will try to get over for the Gala but may have to spend time at the EVR getting ready for opening the full line to Duffield.

Best wishes,

John H-T

Hi chasewaterrailway (Mitch)

Welcome to the Railway Forum. Ive added the gala poster to the members meeting thread if anyone want more details. Regarding RSH wks No.7684 it was only at Meaford for a couple of weeks before moving to Nechells and from what I've been told maybe never even had the rods fitted during its short stay and this is why the new owners have choosen to return it to Nechells No.4 identity and very impressive it looks too imho. Fingers crossed all goes well with the necessary repairs in time.

Regards

[chasewaterrailway]
