It Fits!

The first passenger trains ran under the bridge over the weekend and the good news is that everything now fits.

Guy was on hand to take some pictures of the first trains.

We start with the loco at rest at the new limit of operations. The stop board is in place and the loco prepares to run back to Oswestry station.

With a quick blast of the whistle the loco sets off.

And to prove that trains can now pass under the bridge here is an action shot of the train in motion. A very satisfying conclusion after all of the hard work.  Many thanks to Shropshire County Council for facilitating the work and to all who contributed in any way to the project.

In other news.  Wednesdays our favourite supermarket team return for their second appointment. A really big thank you to Sainsburys for supporting this initiative and to the employees who chose to support our project.  Various jobs were tackled around the site including work on the station name board.   Dave R took the picture.

Again it is good to see further steps forward with our project and once again thanks to all for your support.

Until next time.
