Our train shed at Bo'ness Railway Station is getting a cosmetic restoration paint job over the next few weeks. Did you know our train shed is the original from #Haymarket Railway Station, #Edinburgh, and dates back to 1842? ^JS Retweeted by SRPS Steam Shed

Our #SteamGala could be totally transformed when our signal box is in operation at Birkhill. Please consider helping us raise funds. ^JS twitter.com/bonessrailway/…

Birkhill is a quaint little station in the countryside on the B&KR, evoking the atmosphere of a typical Caledonian Railway crossing place on a single track branch line. But there's an element missing - a Signal Box. We're raising funds, can you help? https://t.co/ECcTKXMEd9 pic.twitter.com/ZTWI0ckXHC

It's hard to believe that this was 16 years ago! The D49 is seen here at the Doncaster Works open day in June 2003. At the time the loco was in the final stages of her 10 year overhaul and only 6 weeks notice to get the loco ready for her trip South. #TeamSteam 📸 D. Cooper. ^JS
