Rother Valley Railway

I am so grateful that there are fit and able people, who willingly lay and maintain yhr track for RVR/KESR.
Although 40 years ago I used to muck-in with the track gang at Quainton Rd, I was never the fittest.
After moving my volunteering to KESR, I did once or twice join with the p/w gang, I hope my efforts were worthwhile, but at the same time I was acutely aware that I was even less fit than I had been.

Nowadays, I know that I could not cope.

Once again, I am grateful that there are people able to do the hard physical work needed.

 

Am I the only person who spent about 15 minutes scanning carefully along all the sleepers before spotting the sitting device on the left hand side of the picture?

Yes.

 

Pway is not only about cast iron; we like our comforts too.
Funny thing, that chair. I found it lineside. Four more tipped into the cess, and a sixth thrown into the neighbours field.
Vandalism?

 

That’s interesting I’ve only ever seen 4 chairs (sitting on variant) during the track laying process. Are you in on Friday? That’s my next track laying shift day.

 

Yes, I booked the whole week.

 

More puzzled as to why anyone would carry 4 (or 6) chairs to such an isolated place.
