"Argh! Natallie let go of my hair, I can wash my neck myself, I'm not a baby you know"

"Shut up and do as your told and when we get home, that hair is coming off !!!"

Ten Quid a Barrow

I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain. What a glorious feelin, I'm happy again.

Actually I'm p-ss-d off

I much prefer the comfort of the Canadian Pacific.

I'm sure I've got some more food down here somewhere!!

Some of the members of the E.W.R. at the Kyre Valley Railway on Saturday 26th April 2008. This is a privately owned railway at Tenbury Wells.

Have you ever wondered if a Scotsman wears underpants under his kilt.  

Then wonder no more.    

Is this another Gnome, or is he Gnoming in the Gloaming ?

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIX A LOCO! ASK ME!

"Grandad, what have you been doing? It look's like the oil's not getting through."

"There you are Dad, I told you I could fix it!"

Those two photo's are of Poppy, Dave Preist's daughter. Thank you Dave for sending them in, she's lovely!

I work on this railway HONEST! and the Severn Valley!

I'm tired and I want to go to bed. I had a little drink about an hour ago and it's gone right to my head.

Will someone give me a shake on Friday morning!

Anyone for Sleeping Car 3. We are due to arrive back at Harvester's at 6am.

Meet our very own EWR Dog Warden! Andy Walton! He got collared holding this pooch, complete with PINK lead & collar. Sorry Mate, but this had to be shown!

Photo courtesey of Dale Williams.

Well, I mean, I'm practising for when I become a guard!

Caught with his trousers down, Photo courtesey of Tango!

Oh Dear! What a great

start to the day!

Good job yer got clean kecks on, no skidder's.

Meet Maurice, who has been made an Honourary Member, for his contribution of well riddled soil, which helped to form the embankment. His pennace for digging up our newly ballasted trackbed.

NOW MEET COUNT DRACULA!

This is Count Dracula (Robert Allsopp) practising for next year's Hallowene evening. This wagon could be made to resemble a coffin, with a hinged lid.

"More Tea Vicar?"

"See, I don't just drive a camera!"

"I'm the driver of this machine, so hurry up and get it fixed!"

Matt certainly had a good 16th birthday and is now qualified to drive passenger trains on the EWR. 

Andy Gunn. Is he using a steam driven Angle Cutter?

!Never mind chatting up Kim, grab that barrow Andy and get some work done!"

This has to be the best yet, of Caught on Camera! I could not resist taking it. As I wandered through Walter's Meadow, hoping to find out what those three nature lovers were talking about, I was attracted to this horizontal figure in front of me.Was he prctising Yoga? Testing out some new kind of bed with ribbed springing? It was hard to tell. As I got closer, He seemed to be well away with the fairies, in the land of nod, It suddenly dawned on me that he could have been PIPE DREAMING!

Scroll slowly for best effect.

NICE ONE TOM!

"Here we go again, I've walked this route so many times, my shoes are getting worn out!"

A few weeks ago, I caught Jeff on Camera, taking five in Old Oak Yard. Andy Walton also caught him sitting at Harvester's Station, during the Aug B/H Weekend 2006.

"About time you lot did some work, I need a rest I'm knackered!"

"All this engine driving, really takes it out on you!"
