Hello and welcome Andrew. I may be wrong but I think you may well be the first member of this forum who's a volunteer at Barrow Hill, look forward to reading your posts.

cheer guy for the welcomes

i well i am down there every weakend. (mum don't like it thow) They got a santa steam train coming up soon, so i will be volentiring to help out should be good.

last year they has a pecket steam loco (the one in the picture) and i was helping. and at the other end of a train a 06/08 shunter not sure witch one. Anyway the pecket pulled it up line and the driver was giving it some hammer. then we stopped at the end off the line and the diesel pulled up back in to the station. when we were in the station the diesel drive got out of the cab and came to use on the peket ans said "could you take it easy becasue the diesel starting to over heat"
