Loxley station on the 15 inch gauge Sherwood Forest Railway...
...seen from the entrance gate.
The two coach train approaching Loxley station.
The train pulled by 0-4-0 "Pet" comes to a halt, is uncoupled and
runs around its train.
"Pet" is a 5/8 scale model of a Kerr Stuart Wren which was used
as a contractors loco.
Soon after leaving Loxley station the train passes through the tunnel,
built with rope containers from the former Clipstone Pit.
After a pleasant run down a fairly steep gradient the train arrives
at Weldale station, the present terminus.
The train in Weldale station.
After running around its train "Pet" is oiled up for the return
up the grade to Loxley station.
A final check on the fire gives me chance for a last shot before
I rejoin the train.
As we pull into Loxley station the driver prepares to hang the single
line token on the bracket.
