Having met this gentleman, it’s sad to read this news. Our thoughts are with Ron’s family and friends.
It’s with heartbreak that we bring the news that our beloved railway President, Ron Stanbridge, passed away last night. 😞 Ron, along with his sons Matthew and Ashley, rebuilt the railway over 26 years ago and since then Ron has dedicated his time and efforts into keeping this little piece of railway paradise alive. He was so incredibly proud of the railway and the volunteers, and loved showing it off to anyone who wanted to take a closer look around. We know so many of our visitors came to know Ron as part of the Fancott and will be sad to read this news. Our thoughts are with Rose and their family. Rest assured, the railway will continue to grow from strength to strength keeping Ron’s dreams and plans going. Rest well Ron. ❤️🚂❤️🚂❤️🚂❤️
