Hi All

I will be paying my first visit to the ESR this year at Easter, :) if anyone has request for any particular prototype photo's of trackwork (bullhead rail) I will do my best to get them. Closing date for requests is on Good Friday am. I will not be available to upload the photo's for over a week as after I leave the railway I go to Stourport (Martin be warned) for my parents wedding aniversary.

For those who would like to get up close and personal to some flat bottom track laid to current practice or to see a 9F on 1000+ ton stone train Yeomans Quarry at Merehead in Somerset will be having an open weekend in June details will be confirmed later.

Cheers Phil :cool:

Can you let me know as soon as the date for this is confirmed as I had the good fortune to work at Both Merehead and Whatley Quarries for 6 months when I used to work for EWS.

Cheers

Hi All

Merehead Quarry open weekend is confirmed as 21st and 22nd June. There will be a shuttle service between Westbury and Cranmore 10 trains each way (I believe, subject to pathing) on both days.

There will be a 9F and a 57xx confirmed plus a Castle and King so far unconfirmed plus a number of diesels at present no further details. Please keep an eye on the East Somerset Railway web site for further updates.

or updates on here when I get further info.

Tickets will be available in advance from the railway.

Plus you will be able to wander around some of the track work at Merehead for those of you interested in flat bottom track including some S & C :)

Cheers Phil
