The Wychbold and Stoke Prior Railway has been closed for essential track maintenance.
Around two years ago I ballasted part of the mainline. IMHO it looked pretty good.
However, the mainline was rapidly disappearing under a blanket of moss and weeds.
The only way to get back control is to take up the ballast and the track.
Needless to say, the filming of Thomas' next adventure is currently on hold.
