    Would like to thank all the the staff/volunteers at the CVR for a great weekend. This is the second year my family/kids have attended and they all love it. At first I thought they may not appreciate being taken around the steam engines and classic cars. In fact the only part they didn't enjoy was leaving the place.
    The event has created some good memories for my children, so thanks once again for all your hard work and dedication.

KENNETT SIGNAL BOX ARRIVES

Image
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.

THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE

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.

WD190 BACK IN ACTION

Image
Built by Hunslet in 1952,  0-6-0ST WD190 returned to service at the weekend after an absence of 5 years.  In that time she has been overhauled by our own Steam Restoration Volunteers (fondly known as The Eccentrics!) The motion has been stripped, bearings remade, and the boiler was removed.  Some of the specialist work needed to be undertaken by a contractor off-site but most of the work was completed at Caste Hedingham.  The next project is another of our own engines - Jupiter.   A big Thank You to all the volunteers involved in working on WD190 - a great job well done.
