A sleepy countryside station deep in Somerset. The small independent railway quietly goes about its desperate struggle to survive. Another train, a couple more passengers. Phew, we've made it another day.

The Other side
Not too often I get the camera into this angle, shooting across to the other side at Windrush Junction. The wood platform was recently stained, which has improved the appearance, however not that noticeable in the photo.

Saturday Snaps
Work has left little time for the railway, but today was a good day and I decided to be lazy. So I just put the hi-fi record player on & played trains. No news, No phones, No Computers, just music, tea, & steam ;) Here's BBR #8 "Hilda" rolling through the countryside in simple times with the "aff'noon" goods. Cheerio

New Year, New Project
A new year has begun, and with it, a new focus on the railway. My attention has been mostly on Windrush Junction, and the surrounding area. For 2022, my main area of activity will be developing the other side of the railway, Boxer Bay, and it's dock. I am most looking forward to it, being interested in maritime activity as well as railways. Here are a few photos showing how things stand now, with bare track & a start on the dock wall. Incidentally the isolated & elevated track will be for the moving dock crane, based on the S&D crane at Highbridge (see photos below).
