Good to see one of the Thumpers running with the CEP trailer. They ran with or without it depending on the season. Unit 205029 unfortunately ended up being written off in the Cowden train crash.

Wonderful to think the VEP was back at East Grinstead last weekend and this time ran through to Horsted Keynes!

The project to install a historically important Southern Railway/Region Westinghouse ‘L’ frame to take over all the signalling at Kingscote was completed in January 2016, and came into use on 5 February 2016. It will also eventually take over control of the East Grinstead layout and the interface with Network Rail, which is currently handled by a pair of ground frames interlocked through the use of the Annett’s Key on the token. The ‘L’ frame has a mixed pedigree of parts obtained from a number of sources. The main frame of levers 1 to 12 was donated to us having been previously used on the Dartmouth Steam Railway where it controlled Churston station from 1979 to 1991. This section is of historic interest in being from the very first ‘L’ Frame to be commissioned, on the Southern Railway at North Kent East Junction (near New Cross) on 1st December 1929. Other parts were supplied from two private collections, some originating from Crewe South Junction. The largest contributor was the National Railway Museum who kindly provided a quantity of parts from Clapham Junction “B” signal box.

Hiya there, my names Mike & I recently had the pleasure of filming the arrival & installation of P 178 at its current resting place at the One:One Collection in Margate. With your agreeance, I would like to use some clips of footage from one of your videos to show her in her former glory, credit will of course be given as will a link to your video. Please let me know if this is ok. Many thanks, Mike.
