KENNETT SIGNAL BOX ARRIVES

On the 18th December we had a Special Delivery from Santa in the shape of Kennett signal box. We were given four days notice to arrange transport and a crane to lift the box at the CVR - quite a feat in the run up to Christmas. All went well though and the box arrived right in the middle of our busiest Santa day! It it now on the sturgeon, where it will remain until a base is ready for it at Drawell.

MODEL RAILWAY EXHIBITION

Image
Sunday 24th June we held, in conjunction with Braintree & Halstead Model Railway club, our annual Model Railway Exhibition. Layouts ranged from the very compact 'Foxbile Brewery' layout to larger '00'  and '0' gauge. We also had some larger scale live steam traction engines and a steam loco on the 7 1/4" line. On a sad note, Clive, the owner of the 7 1/4" steam locos, passed away on 26th June.  A lovely man who will be greatly missed.

Thomas visited the CVR during June along with other Friends, including Daisy and Sir Topham Hatt. There was lots of fun and games to be had and we also had steam on the 7 1/4" railway. The re-enactment involved Fireman arriving in their Fire engine - great fun. Lots of hard work and we do it all again in September.
