It’s Nearly Here – Last Minute

75th Anniversary

TWO days and counting down to our 75th anniversary of the railway in Strathaven park. That day will also be the 75th birthday of Margaret, our 2-6-0 steam locomotive.

The FIRST passenger train through out new tunnel Saturday morning, Strathaven Castle emerging from the Cairnhill tunnel on its first run of a busy day in the park. Finishing touches will be completed on Monday ready for the anniversary day on Tuesday.

While the trains were running two of our members were working👷‍♂️ hard 💪 to restore Margaret to running order.
It’s almost finished tho’ we still need to fit some minor fixings to allow her to undergo her steam test on Monday (Close run thing, but it looks like we will make it🤞🏻🤞🏻 )

Thanks 🙏 Jim for leading this work .

From all at the relieved Wee Trains (Phew) 🚂
