Today on the way to a job I made a return to one of my fave all time explores....The Train Graveyard.
This is a collection someone has put together of locos, carriages and shunters in a field and then left them to rot. My main target was the drivers cab of the Type 47 Loco "The Institute of Civil Engineers" and after much searching, I managed to crawl through and what a place it was to be in :thumb (Yes, I sat in the drivers seat LOL)
Also, other lovely remnants of BR remain in here, old signal lights, British Rail signs and mirrors.
All in all a fantastic explore and one which I enjoyed immensely. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
