Lincolnshire Wolds Railway The Movie - March 2009

[DADRENO]

I was there yesterday and was surprised to see Mardy Monster! Always worth calling in on my way home.

Just wondered if the LWR have started laying track towards Utterby yet??

[farmerkristian]

he's a arsehole because his loco that was here under contract for us to restore it and run it expired in the last year or so which cost us £150k plus and the terms of his new agreement was completely wrong and made it more difficult for us because he wanted us to have another engine in the same state that moorbarrow was when it arrived and we said no and he basicly acted like a twat making it impossible for us to agree his new terms!

[kernowfem]

@farmerkristian Yep, i agree he sounds liek a right twat :-)

[farmerkristian]

like to mention that the owner of no 47'Wheelbarrow ' is a complete ARSEHOLE!

[kernowfem]

@farmerkristian Really? he's an arsehole?? Why? do tell...:-)

[PMDVD]

@farmerkristian

So I understand! He did a similar dirty trick to the NYMR over Sidmouth!

We saw Moorbarrow AKA Backworth No. 47 in steam at Foxfield Gala this weekend. It was minus nameplate, repainted blue witha large 47 and hopefully will be lined out similarly to its partner Wimblebury?

the haunting of the plate layer being hit was not far from the goods warehouse somewere in the region of the mainline north facing points,the guy who hit was called ted lancaster and i believe it was 1953 but i might be wrong,a good series of books to look out for maybe 'ghost stations' by barry herbert.

Many thanks for that farmerkristian. Ive recently managed to trace a copy of railway ghosts and phantoms by mr. herbert although the information on ted lancaster is a little sketchy. I understand a couple visiting friends in louth had a strange experience on what used to be the old crossing at pear tree lane in utterby. I vistted LWR last weekend and i have to say what a wonderful job they are doing, especially on account of there being a recent theft of equipment etc...

[kernowfem]

Have to congratulate the lincs wolds railway on their restoration of what used to be a fantastic line, i hope the completion to thoresby goes well. Ive been recently researching the grimsby to louth line, and i am particularly interested in the stories of the haunting of the line that occurs at utterby, id be interested to know if anyone else has heard of the tale of the ghost of a plate layer who was hit in dense fog by a london bound fish train...
