A Winter's Day.

All's quiet in the village today.

 

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all visitors and friends and family alike, a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year for 2016.

Remembrance

Brookwood and the early morning goods train.

Crossing Brookwood Bridge with the early morning delivery.

Just around the corner.

Pulling into sleepy Brookwood.

Strange passengers hanging around the station.

All's quiet at Brookwood.

Florence's new coaches.

Slowly crossing "the door to nowhere" enroute to Buddleia Pond.

Proudly displaying her new coaches.

Steaming along.

A lazy hazy summer day with Silver Lady.

Mallard visits HLR

There were no trains running today because of fowl play at Homestyal Halt! As soon as the line becomes clear, normal service is expected to recommence.

Spring is here!

Time to clear off the cobwebs and clear the line, Spring is here, it took it's time.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all visitors and friends and family alike, a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year for 2014.

Coming along quite nicely.......

The end of September and a lovely sunny autumnal day,  I thought I'd take one or two quick shots of progress, down at Brookwood station.

Slowly Florence pulls into the new station whilst cattle board the awaiting train.

Here's Big Dan finishing off some last minute welding before the weather changes.

Hikers enjoy the warm weather, whilst waiting to board the afternoon train.

The old church with it's new retaining wall, stands majestically above the station.

What's your caption?

Skeleton staff!

Last train today.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all visitors, Kindle subscribers and friends and family alike, a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year for 2013.

Leaves on the line!

With all the rain and bad weather in the area recently, Homestyal Light Railway was closed for the day whilst the emergency services attended an incident on the line just east of Homestyal Halt.

As the rains subsided, leaves descended upon a passing goods train.....

....and an emerging west bound passenger train!

Smoke was smouldering from under the carriage when the fire brigade arrived.

Survivors were removed from the scene as soon as possible...

....but unfortunately some weren't so lucky (being made of plastic!).

Summer Holidays

Early morning and all's quiet as 'Big Dan' repairs the gents water closet tank whilst the station master talks to Gladys in the ticket office at Buddleia Pond station.

Passengers begin to gather as the first train of the day begins to pull into the station.

Loco 994605 chugs past the talking crowd of holiday makers before stopping at the end of the platform.

 

The train pulls to a stop whilst 'Big Dan' is oblivious to its arrival.

All's quiet once more at Buddleia Pond station.

Florence
