So, we told you all there would be more news tonight.
Here we have the first ever rail movement into Field 3 heading towards Wetwang for about 70 years.
We have managed to lay a 60 foot length of track South of the new set of points towards Green Lane and Wetwang.
Just fantastic work from our Guys and Gals here!

Here we see the continuing extension.Beyond the buffers we have placed stakes showing where the left hand rail will be.

Maffers was on site this morning.
We installed two lengths of rail, packed some sleepers and restored the shoulder.
Hopefully, more news to come this evening.
Still more work to do after the loco has run over the track including filling with ballast.

Found in the ash ballast in field 3.What do you all think this is?No prizes!

Another cracking day at Fimber Halt.
Well, we are through the fence line!
Tweaked the alignment further and squared up all the flat bottom sleepers.
Cross levelled and packed.

Saturday 4th April was spent slewing the most Southernly part of our track to get it on line to the markers in field 3.
So, the buffers were disconnected and our trusty JCB utilised to bring the track in line.
Two 60foot panels were also repositioned so we can gain vehicular access into field 3.
48 sleepers were also neatly stacked in our Pway yard.
In all, a very busy day.

Just to clarify, the buffers you see in the pictures will be relocated South as we extend the line.

We pleased to be able to say that our landlord has now approved our marked out area for the extension of the railway into Field 3.
For the past few months we have been preparing points and track so that we can head South when we received a written agreement. Now this has been received, we need to purchase fencing and ballast.
What a fantastic future our little Railway has.
Be part of it and donate to our future!
