We are spending today preserving yesterday, so you can enjoy it tomorrow.
Some time ago I put some excellent pictures of the Wansford Box on the blog. Since then I have had requests for more pictures of the internal area.
So here they all are © Matthew Alden Farrow and my thanks to him for the images.
We hope to bring more pictures around Wansford and the other stations very shortly.
Saturday 26th March was a day of not only our Mothering Sunday cream tea service, but also a day of engines large and small
Let’s start with the large, here is the Polish tank engine about to leave Wansford with the cream tea service to Peterborough Nene Valley.
Now we have a mixture of large and small as the Peak 45041 stands at platform two prior to departure and a parade of small steam engines pass over the level crossing
Now a selection of pictures of the small steam engines which proved very popular.
Super weather for a super day.
My thanks to Matt for the excellent images.
Now anybody who has visited Wansford station will have seen the station cottages next door.
But people who have only seen Wansford either via pictures in a magazine or on the net, or via the Wansford webcams may not know what they are.
We are often asked on the cam what they are when they are mentioned during chat. They are outside the view of the webcam.
So here is a picture of the station cottages on a nice sunny spring Saturday.
They are typical railway cottages of the era and the area. Many people comment as to how they would like to live in one and have the trains on their doorstep.
My thanks to Matt for the picture.
