We have done well with all now written up. Will head for Manas on Saturday where we part company. I'm not sure where I'm going next- Manila?

I think you will find that City of Truro Fan is not really of this world, possibly autistic or ESN. My feeling is that ignoring him/her is the best policy. Cheers, Howard

Things have gone better than expected. Physical tasks virtually completed. Will commence our final writing up next week.

Hi David We lost out in the bid for the Matlock poster. There looks to be an interesting story behind it about the Manchester Volunteers and the Ambergate to Buxton and Chinley route which we would like to feature in our house magazine. Is there any possibility of you or the new owner either taking a photograph of the poster out of the frame or scanning it? We would cover reasonable costs

Always learning

hi my email is cranetank@ gmail.com for loco availability. I have enjoyed the debate and have much sympathy with Tompson after a career in very heavy industries where i found that change only worked when everyone wanted it to and could some times only happen after malcontents had been removed someone always has to be Boss.

Hello Olly,

I wonder if you could provide some info on one of the SVR wagons please? It is former brakevan B955243 which is recorded on the wagon survey as chassis only. I remember it used to be stabled in the sidings at the junction of the Stourport branch. Does it still exist and do you know of any plans to rebuild it at all?
Kind regards,
Michael

Well spotted with the real identity of "Gillaroo" on the RVR thread - I had a feeling from the content of the original post that it was someone who wasn't positive about the extension. I was a bit surprised to see his real name in his profile.

Hi there, just read your brilliant post on the recent CME, a slight correction, the Fireman on both the outward and return legs of this was Martyn Soames, Chris Holmes fired Hellifield to Preston only on the return leg, J

Love mainline steam trains

Yep, that's the one. I attended the Church and Sunday School in 1959/60. The choice was made on the basis of its location next to the viaduct rather than any religious leanings! I think it was a "Congregational Church" at the time. We lived on Belvidere Road adjacent to 'The Column' where the 'new' Shirehall is. We moved to Church Stretton in 1960. My sister lives in Dorrington but I moved to Australia in 1977
