The journal
From the footplate
News from the engine shed, the track gang and the line: how No. 7 came back, how the points work, and the first autumn run.

Bringing No. 7 back
Six years, two boilers' worth of tubes and a lot of tea: how the volunteers put the line's oldest engine back in steam.
Engine shed

How the points work
A short tour of the signal box at Millbrook, the levers, and why the train always knows which way to go.
Signal box

The first autumn run
The beeches turn in about three weeks. We timed the first Autumn Colours train for the middle of them.
Journeys
The Signal Box, once a season
New journeys, special days before they sell out, and news from the engine shed. Four letters a year.
