All the work at the Railway is carried out by Volunteer Members of the RVRSA.
We are an extremely friendly group and are on site every Sunday and the occasional Wednesday (Please check prior to setting off). The work is currently being undertaken by a group of regular volunteers who have achieved nothing less than a minor miracle in transforming the site to the stage where operations are now firmly within sight.
It is fair to say that the Railway is at what is probably the most exciting period of its development since the Association was formed. Our immediate task is to reach the first river bridge on the old course of the railway. To achieve this we have divided the task into five projects and project leaders have been nominated
Project 1 Permanent Way (P-Way) - Relaying the main running line, to first Bridge Project 2 Platform Building - Bricklayers welcome Project 3 Facility Block - Rebuilding for the Comfort of the visitors and passengers. Project 4 Brake Van Vacuum Brakes fitting Project 5 Loco Works
Why not consider joining the team, come down, have a look around, if you like what you see and can feel you can help, we want you.
You don't need to be an expert on Railways, but if you are great...
We don't expect you to commit all your free time to the railway, but be warned, it can be infectious....
More Generally the work on site varies from...:
-working within the shop/buffet to track laying -platform construction through to loco driving -Carriage and Engine renovation and reconstruction -Helping out with the Website or Promoting at Events. - Even Legal and Surveying skills would be welcomed
Nothing is obligatory and all hands are welcome. “It’s a Great Place to Learn”
