new DVD available

FACEBOOK - RAIL THING - BRITISH BRANCH LINES

Just released, and just added to the New S&D's online shop, is the superb new DVD from 1st Take, covering the branch lines of Somerset, some of which crossed or interacted with the S&D.

Priced at just £14.95 (plus 50p post and packing) all profits go directly to the New S&D to help restore our magnificent line. Orders placed before 20 December will reach UK addresses in time for Christmas. We do only have a small stock though so please order early!

The SDRHT at Midsomer Norton continues to look for a volunteer who can take on the role of minute taker for the Company so if you can help please contact Steve Ehrlicher on sehrlicher@phonecoop.coop. 

Likewise email Steve if you have skills for the role of Head of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering as we recommence train operations.  We will also be starting work on the restoration of the BSK in early Spring so that we have a two coach maroon train for the March 2016 commemorations and if anyone would like to help on this project and would be available on Monday working parties please email John Baxter on jbncer@btinternet.com

FACEBOOK - NEW SOMERSET AND DORSET RAILWAY

The first 7F to appear on track at Midsomer Norton will be over the weekend of 13th/14th December 2014.  No, not the full size version but a live steam 5 inch gauge model which will be providing train rides on both days from 11.30 to 13.00 and 13.30 to 16.00, so do come along and take a ride.  53808 and 53809 will eventually steam at our station but we need to get the next section to Chilcompton open first.
