An original 1898 L&BR Concrete post, surrounded by a modern mould, and a newly-made replica

At the EA/B&YVRT meetings at Growforward, Chelfham Mill on Saturday 16th May 2026, a contest was held to guess the weight of a replica L&BR concrete fence post, built recently by the Snapper Navvies. The winner was Quentin McGuinness, who took home the £10 cash prize. Quentin’s guess of 58 Kg was closest to the actual weight of 57.3 Kg (a little over 9 stone, or 126.327 lbs!). Honourable mention also goes to Jo Rosen, who was second-closest, with 56 Kg.
