BLS Sussex Salopian, 24th March 2018
It's difficult to keep up with all the tours organised by the Branch Line Society and certainly keeps me off the streets! The "Sussex Salopian" ran over two days on Saturday and Sunday 24th and 25th March 2018. Starting from Carnforth on the Saturday, travelling to Bognor Regis and terminating in Crewe, it returned to Carnforth the following day. I was only able to do the Saturday stint, travelling from Crewe and alighting there on the return trip. The tour ran in conjunction with 84G Railtours (their first venture), West Coast Railway Company and Network Rail, once again raising funds for the Railway Children Charity. It also involved a side trip to visit the Hotham Park Miniature Railway in Bognor Regis and also a visit to the Crewe Heritage Centre for a trip around all their tracks on the Sunday morning - quite a marathon! As usual, a few shots to start with, more to add as and when time permits....

Class 33, Hotham Park Railway , BLS "Sussex Salopian", 24th March 2018
Hotham Park Railway's Class 33 is still a work in progress but is hopefully nearing completion. It is a battery electric loco with 4 x 1KW motors, two driving each bogie and despite the difficulties in scaling down to this gauge it certainly looks the part! It has been manandled out of the shed so as to be seen in its best light by the visiting party from the Branch Line Society. 14:31½, Saturday 24th March 2018. Digital Image No. GMPK4503.
