🎉Did Someone Say Gala???🎉

With our 40th anniversary around the corner Tink and Talos were the first asking for some beauty therapy. Which we think is fine as they helped build the railway all those years ago.

A bit hot for boiler inspections today, but there's always a good part of a steam test! 😃

One of the first big jobs this winter was replacing the ashpan on Pioneer. The old one was rather worn out, but what is to be expected after 34 years service!
It's new one comes with a new door arrangement, front opening damper as well as a few tweaks to give the rear truck a bit more space.

What a year we've had! Talos and Zeus returned to service from 10 year overhauls, whilst good progress has been made with William Rufus and Vixen's overhauls. Several wagons have been restored including some of our P.Way fleet along with lots of other projects and day to day maintenance.
We've got lots lined up for next year too, let's hope its a good one!
🚂🎉Happy New Year from the Moors Valley Workshop Team 🎉🚂

What's hiding under our winter wonderland layout???
With Santa trains now up and running space is a premium around the railway and we have to get creative about storeage.
Maybe 2026 will be the year it make it into the workshop...
