B12 Back In Action, PLUS, NEW ARRIVAL!!!
Yes!
After almost a year out-of-action, the wheel problems on the B12 have finally been resolved, and so therefore it is now back in action!
Further to this, as some of you may have seen from the new stock list, we have also acquired a GWR Railcar, in original GWR livery with "Shirtbutton" logos. It is Number 24, and has been put straight into use. It will be very handy for mid-week services, sharing with the 25 and 20, both with a single coach, the service of the line between Kingsford and Crystal Bay.
Pictures will follow soon...

Kingsford Challenge... Hornby Collector Article...
Hello!
If you are reading this, then you probably read the article by me in the latest issue of "The Collector" (Number 60). Thanks to everyone for all the comments.
This site deals with the "fictional" side of the heritage railway. For the up-to-date progress for the challenges, please visit www.kingsford-challenges.blogspot.com.
Thanks!

A new Shunter...
We are pleased to announce, that today, another 08 Shunter, No. 08419, has arrived at the railway. This will allow our other resident 08, No. 08375, to go for an overhaul - it has now been lifted from it's wheelsets.
In other news, Brake Van rides are currently suspended, as is the Mk. 2 coach, as an emergency works train has had to be taken to a section of 4-Track Mainline for some emergency repairs. This will not effect other services, however there may be a small delay.

Kingsford Gains a new Platform!!!
Yes! Kingsford now has 4, yes, FOUR platforms!
After nuch pain staking work from volunteers, the platform was opened at the Thomas Day, with the first train into the platform being the Virgin Trains Rake. Driver Jack Gordon was very pleased!
Kingsford now has One Bay Platform, One Up Platform, One Down Platform, and One Bi-Directional Platform.
This amazing feat was achievd by moving the station back, and extending Platform One (The old Bay Platform) through to the mainline. This became Platform 2. A new platform has been built alongside the station, and this is now Platform One Bay.
Platform 2&3 have become 3&4.
Kingsford is now teeming at the seams, and is a hive of activity! All we need now is for the mainline to re-open through to Forbes!

GWR Pannier Tank
The Pannier Tank has been declared unfit for service by HMRI today. On inspection of it's exterior, major cracks were found - and that was before even looking inside the boiler. The boiler is pretty much completely corroded, meaning that we are down another loco. Luckily, with the arrival of BR 238, it shouldn't be too bad. The revised stock rakes are as follows:
25+GWR 4-Wheel+Coke+Conflat+Brake (Mixed Goods Rake)
58+HAA+HBA (Coal Rake)
47+VT Rake
20+GWR 4-Wheel Rake
08+Blue/Grey Rake
0F+Maroon Rake
BR 0-4-0+Carmine&Cream Rake
SR 0-4-0+Toad
Thomas+Sodor Rake
Percy+Sodor Goods Rake

A dip in the archives... and a few new pics
Yes! It's that time again, when we dip into the vast photo collection and publish some here. This months selection can be seen below. All are captioned.
1. This is one of the many Plate Layers Huts on the Railway, used for various purposes. This particular one is an S&T dump, thus the Brakevan in the background!
2. This is a view towards Crystal Bay from Platform 2. The Carmine and Cream stock was in 3-Car formation for a private charter.
3. Kingsford Station... Isn't it lovely with it's prototypical Station Signs?
4. The WHSmith on Platform 3. Anyone want to buy a paper? (Actually, it is now the gift shop!)
5. The new loco taken from the end of Platform 2.
6. An overview of the Loco Yard -
Can you spot which loco is which?Send your answers to kingsfordstation@gmail.com, and if they are correct you could win a driving course with either D8135, 47845, 08375, 80, 7 or Thomas!
