Last trains of the weekend...

After the rain dried up we managed to run a few more trains...

More trains today...

Well it's raining now but this morning has been glorious so we ran plenty of trains. The U-class and Frank S saw action on the passenger train - as did the Polish Lyd2 (Faur L45H) diesel on both freight and later passenger...

Summer's here...

I can't believe how the railway has really evolved in the past few years - it's a shame it isn't run more often, but when it is, it always delights...

Today we were visiting Blists Hill at Telford, but we got to Chester in time to play trains in the evening. Elly and I cleaned the track and pruned some trees with Mum before Elly had a fun hour playing and shunting with her Stainz and a passenger train. I didn't get to run my Frank S tank, but hopefully with another good day forecast tomorrow we'll have a bit of a running session as well as nipping out for a cake to Llangollen Railway...

Spring showers...

Well weeded, pruned, cleaned, set up and ready for trains and the showers start!

Spring has sprung...

With a splash of sunshine the EJ&KLR runs again! After an indoor performance at the Macclesfield Model Railway exhibition last month I brought the trains back over to Chester and gave the line a much needed tidy up. Mum had been weeding and pruning trees but the track needed cleaning and the ballast needed tidying up.

We ran a few trains and Alex was absolutely transfixed by them! What a lovely relaxing way to spend an afternoon...
