Well,
Luckily, we are not going to have to implement the revised timetable as stated previously! The A4 returned from overhaul today, and, following it's test's tommorrow, we hope to be able to push it back into service. Therefore, we can have three (maybe four!) full line trains running, aswell as 2 shuttles, the Forbes Junction Shuttle from Kingsford to Forbes, and the Foxton Shuttle, from Kingsford Yard to Foxton Tunnel.
The trains will be operated by:
Virgin Trains Class 47, 2x Mk. 2s, and 1x VDA, all three of which are in Virgin Trains - Runs non-stop through Seinfar Stadium (Kinsgford) - Starts at Kingsford
BR Green Class A4, 2x Mk. 1s in Carmime and Cream - All Stations - Starts at Crystal Bay
BR Green Class 20, 2x Mk. 1s in Blue/Grey - Starts at Forbes Jnct
BR Blue Class 08, 2x 4-Wheelers in GWR Choc/Cream - Foxton Shuttle
Maroon Class OF, 2x Mk. 1s in Maroon - Forbes Junction Shuttle - Runs non-stop through Seinfar Stadium (Kingsford)
If Carriages can be made available, then the Class 58 or the Pannier and 0-4-0 will haul the fourth train.
This timetable is subject to change, when the DMU arrives.
Please email us with any suggestions, and please ring ahead if coming to see a specific loco, as it may not be possible to do this.

WITHDRAWAL
Hi all,
I am sorry to announce that, due to unforeseen circumstances, the B12 will be out of action until further notice, due to front axle problems.
The 25 has also had to be withdrawn for ETH repairs.
This means that the 66 is now on Works trains, and the 58 and 08 will be on service trains.

2007 Releases
Well,
I've now had time to get my head around all of the 2007 releases from Bachmann, Hornby, Heljan and Dapol.
So far, the most tempting ones are:
Bachmann Class 108 DMU
Bachmann Class 37
Hornby Class 121
Hornby GWR Railcar
Heljan Class 17 (Clayton)
Heljan Falcon (BR Prototype - Class 47 origins)
Possibly a new Heljan Class 58
On the Rolling Stock front, I'm thinking about pretty much any coach that would operate on a Heritage Railway, and with the Freight front, i'm probably going to get some items that we can marshal into demonstration freight trains, and to supplement those we already have.
If anyone has any ideas etc, then please don't hesitate to contact us, and the usual address (kingsfordstation@gmail.com)

Guest Book and Hit Counter
Hi everyone,
I've just added a hit counter and a Guestbook. I hope that they are not too obstructive. All thoughts can be directed through the Guest Book, by marking it as a private message.
Does anyone else have any ideas as to what e can add to the site. I contemplated a message board, but thought that it wouldn't be used enough. I have however added one for a trial.
Also, is the Yahoo Answers thingy at the top too much? I've added it because moat of my q and a's are about trains, but let me know what you think!
All thoughts welcome,
Jack

Class 108 DMU Update
Hi all,
The latest on the Class 108 DMU Fund, is that we have £20 towards this, which has a total cost of £70, for the transport and costs of buying it. It will probably be a bot more for the nameplates.
The DMU will be owned by the CBKRA, although all donators will have a share of it.
This is a very nice project, and we are looking forward to the final result (a working DMU!!!)

Jack
