Although private to the museum the railway runs to the public when the museum is holding a event. The railway is run by a group called BMEG (beamish model engineering group) and is home to the world's first 7 1/4 gauge rack railway which travels over a tewlve foot high viaduct.

Since the last time I posted ( two years ago!) the railway has had a lot of progress made. Most of this is due to making the railway better suited to public this has included the construction of a new ticket office next to the turntable. In fact dipwood halt is getting upgraded right so the rack railway is now connected to the turntable. A new signal box will be constructed next to the new line with a new platform for it. The water stop (coghill) has also gone through a major visual improvement with the placement of new ballast over the track. the Carriage shed is externally complete. The running lines have yet to be fitted though. Also krokidile is about to go in for a winter's overhaul. The overhaul will include a upgrade to 24 volt with two new motors and a much better controller. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That's all for now, I hope to upload some pictures soon.</span><br />

We have had three very successful running days and have been adding <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">improvements</span> to the tracks. We still are getting more machines for the workshop and new locos are coming to the railway.

Then krokidile come and we lift the bag on to the train and krokidile hauls the bag to the compost bin.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhve0HPxT4y9Uv4s-XRpiPTJLJVqyGVps0HEJ98xm4dBiIwwh8vKiGzwUdlKc2jNFjokIqb-m12vjqO0RvwSdRIoO79bmitpz-N4tScWYV0j_JSYiI9oYB0pzT4MRhIUWPhooqKS8MI2eB/s1600/Beamish+December+2010+004.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550576881096450066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhve0HPxT4y9Uv4s-XRpiPTJLJVqyGVps0HEJ98xm4dBiIwwh8vKiGzwUdlKc2jNFjokIqb-m12vjqO0RvwSdRIoO79bmitpz-N4tScWYV0j_JSYiI9oYB0pzT4MRhIUWPhooqKS8MI2eB/s320/Beamish+December+2010+004.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">Now you know how much leaf's fall down on to the track.</span></div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJHw-jVfyD2MyDLD_NBA-BuqNGq_tRxb2pXKhzF4bFhEKxB2hbo3q_aeAuLfaUl53H3Tmp-EdQ8WC5jp0vDprgRdU0pKBzX6Eaa3FjUYx1oeHqmEpvsbYo8d-XMUFFB68YLBgbVxiTyqkz/s1600/Beamish+December+2010+007.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550576011805208466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJHw-jVfyD2MyDLD_NBA-BuqNGq_tRxb2pXKhzF4bFhEKxB2hbo3q_aeAuLfaUl53H3Tmp-EdQ8WC5jp0vDprgRdU0pKBzX6Eaa3FjUYx1oeHqmEpvsbYo8d-XMUFFB68YLBgbVxiTyqkz/s320/Beamish+December+2010+007.jpg" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">After that was done krokidile had a break so I took some arty photo's of it.</span></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br /> </div></div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHuZC4vTqdHkAJwsg4WgE8Ww6aJNsexfbWH1gZtFL9xMsYojGLTI2OxoH3QKThLRoFAQe5x_CEaptQNXtC7HEesfTRzSNK3TXGuBmXXvkiFNqgErWxB4whatPVoJSsf64PenRinFdp6wfg/s1600/Beamish+December+2010+008.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550575659564008866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHuZC4vTqdHkAJwsg4WgE8Ww6aJNsexfbWH1gZtFL9xMsYojGLTI2OxoH3QKThLRoFAQe5x_CEaptQNXtC7HEesfTRzSNK3TXGuBmXXvkiFNqgErWxB4whatPVoJSsf64PenRinFdp6wfg/s320/Beamish+December+2010+008.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">The paint is a bit chipped.

Check out beamish's transport blog for pics of the museum under a blanket of snow and how they are trying to clear the tramway. The week before the snow came the railway received the former members workshop machines in form of a lathe and a drilling machine. I would imagine that the railway is covered in snow and the only engine that you would be able to run is krokidile which is also engine of the month. The steam engines are going through winter maintenance like chimney cleaning and small adjustments. </span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNEaNVGQjRrCfoHjcCbPTnTxrMIiuRu4ot9wZbS53_IYkcnGdL2x4hxtYe4jD7u9Bz2fw2Ww8siPfvgFRixH-sRbQLmcJ3VqowHRQCDr5HDZuQ0iRkoJhNiAxqYLoC60eueTVXZRF2iTM/s1600/Beamish+October+2010+030.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548355152965159202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNEaNVGQjRrCfoHjcCbPTnTxrMIiuRu4ot9wZbS53_IYkcnGdL2x4hxtYe4jD7u9Bz2fw2Ww8siPfvgFRixH-sRbQLmcJ3VqowHRQCDr5HDZuQ0iRkoJhNiAxqYLoC60eueTVXZRF2iTM/s320/Beamish+October+2010+030.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> Here is the six wheeled Bridget that was displayed in our September exhibition it is going under trails before it is striped down for painting.

A five inch loco has arrived at beamish. Sadly I did not get any photos but it does keep you guessing! I shall give you some clues then. It is not steam and is not of British design and was built about eight years ago. Can you guess what it is then? Also there are plans to build some portable track so we can put it down on running weekends and run this loco alongside the passengers train.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I hope to post some photos next weekend of the new driving truck and the mysterious engine.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">UPDATE: krokidile new driving truck was tested today and cleared all obstacles on the lineside so work can be started on it.</span>samsuedavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15924954622299870885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607114921649081136.post-15354742254178492692010-09-11T14:03:00.000-07:002010-09-20T12:22:00.086-07:00GREAT NORTH STEAM FAIR RUNNING WEEKEND<div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Last weekend the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Beamish</span> Cog railway was running for the museums event called the Great North Steam Fair.

Today the railway station got some new seats and the points were checked and oiled. Also krokodile has got a new driving tender in form of a BR diesel brake tender used to help stop diesels with a heavy train. I hope to have some pics up of this soon . Also Koppel 2 has had its hydraulic test. It also had the steam test but the injector wasn't picking up so a later steam test should be set. It is also hoped to have Jessie complete for the exhibition. These running days will also decide which engine is ENGINE OF THE MONTH. This competition is open to visiting engines and our own fleet of engines. The winner is chosen because it is the engine that has performed the best, being the best all rounder or rescuing a train (but that should never happen hopefully!!!). So which engine will be the winner? Will it the powerful KOPPEL or one the two simple WRENS (as we are having a visiting WREN "NATHAN"). It may be a diesel from Ireland (we hope this comes). find out next week!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div>samsuedavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15924954622299870885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607114921649081136.post-83838627871775988362010-08-24T05:42:00.000-07:002010-08-24T06:14:49.566-07:00september running<div align="center">Beamish museum is having a massive event called </div><div align="center">THE GREAT NORTH STEAM FAIR.</div><div align="center">With this the BCR has been asked by the museum to running for this event.

We will have our own model engineering exhibition where you will see lots of model steam engines. This is where you can also get your tickets for a ride on the railway.
