Audley End is not a railway that we see much mention of on here. Anyway, following my parents' 60th birthday do out in the sticks on Saturday, we decided to have a cross-country drive of some 80 miles or so from Bucks to North Essex. It was a good idea at the time... Anyway. Surprisingly the line didn't open til 2pm and then shuts at 4:30pm. Trains were busy, all hauled by Curwen No.24 "Bruce"; Crowhurst "Henrietta Jane' hauled one relief train too. Personally I rather preferred this loco, what with its bogie outside cranks making a rather pleasing motion as it crawled along the track. Didn't ask to go looking at the sheds as they seemed rather busy on the warm sunday afternoon dealing with passengers! Also a couple of photos of the Saffron Walden Society of Miniature Engineers, with the 3.5/5" raised track and 7.25" ground level circuits in use.
