The route is set right for Bourne Again Jn, left is to the yard <br>[&copy; Andrew Martin 2025]	An obstruction on the line - just attention seeking really...<br>[© Andrew Martin 2025]	In the cab of the Class 03.<br>[&copy; Adam Turner 2025]	Bourne Again Junction. The stops were reached - need you ask.<br>[&copy; Adam Turner 2025]	Bourne Again, the incline up to Somersham is left. The numerous deer keep the grass nice and short and are inexpensive to run.<br>[&copy; Geoff Noakes 2025]	In close up, Fawley signal box is first then the station followed by the former crossing keeper's box from Earley (on the Reading to Wokingham line).<br>[&copy; Andrew Martin 2025]	Exchanging the mini-coach (with a rear veranda which we could ride on) for the 'Shark' (left) in the yard behind 'Shobnall Maltings' box.<br>[&copy; Adam Turner 2025]
Photobombed! Loco + 'Shark' at Somersham; end of line ('tunnel') right.<br>[&copy; Justin Edwards 2025]	Heading from Bourne Again Jn (off left) to Inverernie - a section 'ballasted' with dead leaves which the fawns like to lie on.<br>[&copy; Adam Turner 2025]	The idyllic far end of the line, the platform line, loop and headshunt were covered but the track in the sidings was in poor condition.<br>[&copy; Geoff Noakes 2025]	Approaching Inverernie from its headshunt, the shed is off to the right. Fawley Hill volunteers (left) were working on the station.<br>[&copy; Geoff Noakes 2025]	Unique in the UK, a USA built bogie tipper wagon at Inverernie, thought to have been used with others by McAlpines on a contract.<br>[© Justin Edwards 2025]	Just outside Inverernie, looking towards Bourne Again Jn. This is clearly a very horny locomotive.<br>[© Geoff Noakes 2025]	Bourne Again Jn fixed distant; the McAlpine residence is in the far background between the signal and loco - we can guess who built it.<br>[&copy; Geoff Noakes 2025]
This was how far we reached on the Shark in the left hand yard road, further than the 'Shark' is in the earlier photo<br>[© Andrew Martin 2025]	In the 'tunnel' beyond Somersham station, the Class 03 leads the 'Shark'.<br>[&copy; Adam Turner 2025]	Marked up map.<br>[&copy; Martyn Brailsford 2025]
