A re edit. Took the more private buildings out.
2 weeks behind the other holiday videos.
A playlist, linked below.

A little tour of the The Langford and Beeleigh Miniature Railway by Jacob doing the Electrical installations course at his local Chelmsford college.
The youngest volunteer.

We came to the museum and it is a building site. Not open. Missed that on the web site.

Wednesday 6th September 2023.

Did a little bit of the outside and some steam powered pumps, engines of some sort.

The main station, 'Langford', is on the far (south) side of the Museum site and is where passengers normally start and finish their ride. Our 'Langford' station is less than half a mile from the position of the original Langford and Ulting Halt which was situated on the old Great Eastern Railway Maldon to Witham Branch Line, axed in the 1960s. You can view the original Langford Station sign inside the Museum.

Further information about our railway
The L&BR features an overall roofed, two-platform Langford station and a basic halt.
Trains are vacuum braked. Entry to and from the station is controlled by upper quadrant semaphore junction and starting signals which are linked to the platform points and provide operating staff with enhanced visibility of route setting and add to the railway atmosphere for our visitors.
Visible and audible warnings for pedestrians at two foot crossings.
Two internal road crossings are equipped with level crossing gates which are controlled by operating staff and provide protection against any risk of collision with road vehicles.

The Motive Power Depot, or Engine Shed, is situated some distance from the station, down by the river. The depot comprises a building with three ground level roads plus a fourth raised level road for the storage of locomotives and rolling stock; two adjacent sidings for the assembly and preparation of trains; two short locomotive preparation/disposal roads over a large inspection pit and a road leading to an adjustable loading/unloading ramp for visiting locomotives.

Access from the main line is via a spur protected by 'trap' points, leading to a 14' turntable which in turn serves all the sidings and shed roads. The depot has its own water tower and coal storage as well as an office and workshop and enables the crews to carry out the exacting work involved in the preparation of our locomotives and rolling stock for passenger hauling duties.
For safety, our trains are fitted with a powerful vacuum braking system which can be operated by either the Engine Driver or the Guard, who travels at the rear of the train.

The whole of the running line is inspected before we commence operations each day, as are the locomotives and rolling stock. For the safety and comfort of our customers, we operate and staff the railway in much the same way as on the 'Big Railway' except that, as we do not normally have a timetable, our trains are NEVER late!
