Passing trains at Kionslieu Station. No6 "Peveril" heading south towards St. Marks, whilst the ex CDR Railcars trundle off in the opposite direction. The chimney of the engine house at the Cronk Dhoo mines can be seen in the distance.

Meanwhile the company painter Freddie "Splash" Gordon finds time to chat with the Stationmaster before starting to apply undercoat to the new picket fence

Just keep him away from my blue Cale, Mike!

Great photos as usual.

First choice for steam hauled passenger workings, "Peveril" on light engine working pauses at Kionslieu

A little like Brigadoon, Ballahowin Bridge Station appears from out of the mists and on to the official timetables quite sporadically. Its appearance tends to coincide with wether or not a local landowner or well to do resident has been elected to serve in the Government.
At present it is closed, a faux pas involving holiday cottages and Government grants resulted in a recent bye - election.
That is not to say, however, that the train crews might be persuaded to make a quick unofficial stop from time to time for a small consideration.

The happy result of emptying out the "Bits" box one rainy Sunday afternoon a while ago.
The PW wickham is made from scrap plastic, long matchsticks and the left over laser cut frames of an I.P. Engineering IOM G van kit. Completed by the wheels and motor of a Bachmann gandy dancer and powered by a pp3 battery with a simple on/off switch.
Figures home made from Das clay.

St Marks Station

First week of the Winter Timetable, the railcars are in charge of most of the passenger workings

I do like the Walker Railcars. Here is the Australian version; Chassis by Walker Bros Wigan body by Martin & King in Victoria... 5'3" Gauge

One of the delights of the line, is that by using different buildings I can run the F&St.M as either a representation of the North or South lines of the I.O.M. Railway. The views posted thus far have been Northern so a couple of shots of a Southern station

As always - very atmospheric.
Just love those railcars!
Thanks for posting
