Steam trains are running again.
A Leeds Scarcroft & Wetherby goods train waits at the signal for a Calder Railway oil train clears the junction.

Work began on Winterwood Manor and the land around it. The original Winterwood Manor is in Northumberkland, about two miles away from the old Border Counties Railway (north of Hexham). When my oldest grandson visits and runs trains, he stops trains at the Manor. A little platform was built.

Do you glue the balast down or leave it loose?
