Whitwell and reepham station M&GN

Post by Dman-lewis »

Hi, im new and I thought I would start off by introducing and station that im very close to.
Some of you may have heard of the Midland and great northen railway. (M&GN), The Muddle and Go Nowhere line or now the Much and Greatly Needed.

The whitwell and reepham station was stituated on this line and so is NNR.
But Whitwell is the new kid on the block, only been running for 2-3 years now and has got off to a great start.

We're a very small line, only 300 odd ft of track but we how to extend in the the old track bed in the near future.

I would like to welcome you to the new Whitwell and Reepham youtube page
http://www.youtube.com/user/WhitwellandReepham#p/u
I have created this and will hopefully be updating with progress reports.
There are 3 at the minute. I am using a digital camera to record the videos atm but it might jump to a real camera.
Thanks
