Some photos of the various railway goings-on at Beamish on a quiet - and wet - Tuesday in October

'Puffing Billy' and 'Locomotion No 1' were both undergoing maintenance with various items missing, which did give an interesting view of the innards (and I was previously wondering if they were fitted with boiler tubes or gone for the original style)

Over at the 1913 town railway, the rebuilt Rowley station and area have been receiving some touches to look more North Eastern Railway - window frames etc have been repainted, and new 'NORTH EASTERN' notice boards have been put up. Small differences that make a surprisingly big, and very nice, impact
