Up Date Of Work On New Office Site

For the last few weeks, a number of members of the Tangerine Team have been preparing the site at Waldersea to place their new office.

    Photo 1 shows the first shovel of cement being laid in the first foundation casing.

As you can see from the additional pictures, work has been remarkable to say the least in getting the place looking smarter than it has done for years. it would be nice to see a few more volunteers helping with this project, as the quicker we get it done, so the quicker we can get trains rightly running again.

Coldham Crossing & Revd Wilbert Awdry

Coldham Crossing

Following some recent complaints about the poor condition of the level crossing at Coldham, with one motorist claiming to have broken a spring on his car through it, two members of the Trust not only visited the site, but even went on to contact Network Rail direct, as they are still responsible for it, and within days, they had been out and carried out some good repairs, and cleaning it up.

While the Trust are not yet responsible for the upkeep of the crossings along the line, if anybody does see something wrong with any of them, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us, then we will look into it, then hopefully get something done as quickly as possible.

Saturday & Sunday 11th/12th June 

On Saturday & Sunday 11th/12th June, a group of members were invited to attend The Old Vicarage at Emneth, and one time home to the late Revd. Wilbert Awdry, who brought us Thomas The Tank Engine. The reason for the visit, was for the Roadshow to attend, getting more new members. Every member there enjoyed themselves, including during the rain on Sunday, and would like to say a very heartfelt 'Thank you' to our hosts being Mr. Mark Thatcher, and his lovely wife Dr. Flo Thatcher, for the hospitality given to us.

Open Weekend For Late Revd Wilbur Awbry

A number of the 'The Tangerine Team' were out at Waldersea again on Saturday, getting some more of the groundwork sorted, ready for their office to be sited. A good amount was achieved by them before returning home, with two of them paying a visit to The Old Vicarage at Emneth, Near Wisbech and where the late Revd. Wilbur Awdry penned the last 13 of his books on Thomas The Tank Engine, and now home to Mark and Flo Thatcher.

Mark and Flo will be holding an 'Open Weekend' on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th June, to commemorate the birth of Revd. Awdry 100 years ago, and the unveiling of a Blue Plaque showing that Revd Awdry had actually lived there.

As well as this, the Bramley Line 'Roadshow' has been invited to attend, so why not give us a look while there?

Site For New Office

Members of 'The Tangerine Team' were out at what they nicknamed 'Windy Waldersea' today, and what a difference they made to the area, despite the windy weather? Picture 1 shows the before work commenced, while 2 and 3 show the after affects.

                                     Sunday

 This has been carried out in preparation for further improvements to the site, which we hope to complete before the summer weather finshes. If we had a few more volunteers helping, then we could get much more done, and much quicker.


                              Wednesday

Members of 'The Tangerine Team' were in action again today, and in the disposing of the mass of brambles that were cut down at Waldersea on Sunday, then the start of the office base was marked out in readiness for the necessary work to be carried out before it gets here in a matter of weeks time.

Every chance 'The Team' have now, they are out to prove
We Mean Business in getting this line Finally re-opened.

More volunteers will always be

Made welcome.
