Southern at War Weekend

At the weekend, we attended Sheffield Park on the Sunday of Southern at War weekend with a sales and information stand.  I was in the signal box but Claire and Stuart manned the stand.  For a couple of pictures please take a look at Derek Haywards collection via the link on the Bluebell Railway web site.  We had a good time there with a reasonable amount being sold and much interest in the loco and the collection of military models displayed by Stuart.

There was nothing done restoration wise at the weekend, the crew taking a break following their efforts of removing the cylinder block on on Friday. Rumour has it that they were off looking at diesel locomotives! (don't understand that myself!).

This comming Saturday, we are again out with a stand, this time at the Bluebell Railway Preservation Society's AGM. We will have a newly updated display, which is unfortunately already a week out of date following the cylinder lift!  We also have the usual items for sale as well as the prints and original painting of 27 and 753 on the dockside at Boulogne in 1915.  The prints will cost £15 mounted or £25 framed.  The original can be purchased for offers in excess of £180.

We hope to see you at the AGM, please come and have a chat, it is always good to speak to our supporters.
