Colne Valley Railway News

The Essex section of the VMCC have just spent five days based at the Railway again.  They camp on site and each morning the sound of lovely old bikes can be heard as they set off on a daily run.

Guest loco Little Barford worked its first freight train at the Colne Valley Railway on Sunday 19th August. A tube wagon has had some bench seating installed in it and it proved to be very popular on its frst outing

Some of the members of Pressed Steel Heritage have been busy working on Class 121 trailer car W56287. Whilst the seat cushions are being re-upholstered they have removed and repainted all the frames, making the most of the nice weather.

0-4-0ST 'Little Barford' built by Andrew Barclay as No.2069 in 1939, arrived at the CVR this afternoon.  All being well we hope to have this in steam on Sunday.
