#FrontEndFriday BR green #Crompton 33008 'Eastleigh' (D6508) undergoing restoration at Shackerstone on the Battlefield Line. It sounds as if she is not too far away from running again which would be a fine sight indeed. #BRCW #BattlefieldLine @brcwco.bsky.social 3/4/26

Things are looking up towards Christmas. This week we had initial talks with Network Rail about a new home, fingers crossed we will have something sorted in time for the big day!

Can you help? The @NLRailway are hoping to put 2 of their mk1s into use next year. But we really need some help to get them over the line! I'm not after your money don't worry, I'm after your time! The mk1s are being restored by a dedicated group that work on Wednesdays. 1/2
