Not done a lot with the LGB of late, due to work and GSS commitments.

So the old sleeper built stops have been dismantled for use in sidings elsewhere on the LGB, and new railbuilt buffers have been installed, which are more than capable of stopping a run away freight train travelling at the maximum line speed of 20 mph.
These were purchased from a railway in the Burbage area, whilst the CME attended a meeting of G Scale Railway Operators recently held in Walsall....

The young lad in the blue T-shirt, Kriz Liz, is now a strapping six footer....

Various options were looked at and trials of various Manufacturer's Locos were carried out. The 218 class was available and within the Loco Purchasing Budget, but it was deemed to be a little on the large size for the LG&B's loading gauge....
