Postman Prat Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi WTDYou'll enjoy Beamish - it's very good. I used to live only a few miles from there. But you will get very wet if it rains as most of it is outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue ones true, that paint was awful, the plants just ate into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If you go up a bit and left a bit for half a mile there's the Tanfield Railway too, and the Causey Arch of course.Dunno how long since you've been there PP, but there's a lot of inside to see too. The best bit is being on the train pulled by the replica pre 1829 locos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortehoe Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 That whole area, is where the TARDIS would come in handy. Just to see the Rope Hauled lines working would be fantastic. I can vouch for the Tanfield, I enjoyed my visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything Western Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Now who thought that AW would not put his two penith on tp this thread. Personally I think that this class of locomotive should be a permanent member of the range, I would like to see the king do a run out in Hawksworth G Crest W livery and also in Early BR Logo livery with single chimney and as preserved 6024 King Edward 1 in double chimney form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
