#FrontEndFriday BR green #Crompton 33008 'Eastleigh' (D6508) undergoing restoration at Shackerstone on the @BattlefieldLine. It sounds as if she is not too far away from running again which would be a fine sight indeed. #BRCW #BattlefieldLine @BRCWCo 3/4/26

#ThirtySevenThursday Heavyweight Tractor 37906 seen at Shackerstone on the @BattlefieldLine on Good Friday. I really fancy another run up this line when this engine is fully returned to traffic. Ex 37206 before Ruston engine/GEC alternator @TheGrowlerGroup #BattlefieldLine 3/4/26

#SignalboxSunday this week is Market Bosworth on the @BattlefieldLine in Leicestershire. This is on the former Ashby & Nuneaton Joint Railway which was operated by the LNWR & MR. Best I can find out is that the box here is an LNWR design dating from 1898. #BattlefieldLine 3/4/26

Something rather interesting in the repair shed at Shackerstone on the #BattlefieldLine yesterday. As far as I can work out this is the former 20063 which was exported to CFD in France in the 90s & numbered 2002. Looks to have been repainted in its French orange livery. 3/4/25
