NEAG: Display to the Thorpe Light Railway 21st June 2026.

 This was always going to be a challenge!

NEAG were asked to set up a display at the Thorpe Light Railway running day, access to the railway is a across a field and the display to be setup on a picnic table, we were loaned the use of a gazebo, as there is no access to mains electricity, a solar powered panel to charge a battery was used to power the layout.

                                     

John, Stewart, Andrew & Peter, the "A" Team, never a problem, only challenges!

The small information booklet on the left, was written as a brief introduction to the Whorlton Lido, Whorlton Bridge, and the Whorlton Lido Railway, mainly for my good lady who was born here in Darlington, who never had the opportunity to visit the Lido in her youth.
