Chris and I paid another visit to the Stainmore Railway at Kirkby Stephen last Saturday. We were very fortunate in that it was members day and they had put lunch on. Being the kind people that they are, Mike and Sue invited us to have lunch as soon as we arrived.
Following lunch we were able to have a brake van ride in the Ex GCR 6 Wheeled Brake van and a guided tour showing what has been done to date and what is planned next.
What was really useful is that the Pipe wagon which has bee stored up the line and in accessible had been moved down into the station area ready for starting work on it. Last time we visited I had a lengthy chat with a gent called Rob who is one of the owners of it. With it being accessible I thought it worth while to get some photos of it just incase I need to build one at some point.
Ironically (having just recently built one) I am sure that this is a BR Build but it has LNER Axle boxes.
I will add the rest in a second post.
