A typical Weal Barrow Open Day scene. Gazebos can be seen erected to protect visitors from the rain or, as in this case, the sun.

An idyllic 16mm scene on the WBR, looking along the branch line.

The WBR is one of the more sceniced of the raised lines. This is the view of the field in the middle of the triangle near the main station. An Accucraft Edrig is seen passing with a short goods train in the background.

Here, a visiting Fowler locomotive is seen exiting the main station and beginning its journey around the garden.

A view of the exit from the main station. The Superior Class loco is running 'light engine' over the level crossing as part of a shunting manoeuvre.

Another view of the Fowler loco, this time departing the Yard with its goods train. |
Taken during the 2007 Open Day, a small saddle-tank loco is seen with a passenger train on the main loop line. |
A view of Linda traveling along the main line with a passenger train. Despite the damp weather everyone still looks cheery!
|
An unnamed Accucraft Mortimer Class loco hauling a goods train. Notice the double-sided station clock in the background. |
Running is bi-directional on the WBR, almost uniquely in our group. Here, the ubiquitous Millie Class loco is seen running past the exit from the main station.

Sunny days! |
One of the two crenellated lift bridges on the line. When the bridges are raised the open sides are protected by barriers. |
