Essential Track Maintenance

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.

While I was working I had the distinct feeling that someone was watching me.

The track has now all been taken up and the whole area cleaned. I will put the track down again in the next few days but will not be replacing the ballast until the spring.

Needless to say, the filming of Thomas' next adventure is currently on hold.
