    The NSRC is currently exploring 21st Century ideas, and the following page has been set up to handle donations to specific appeals.
    First two are "live", but expect to see this develop over the coming weeks.

    OAPway were up at Leekbrook today. Took the opportunity to take a photo from within the tunnel and some others around the yard at Chedd, including some of the newly arrived 5619.

    .... And on the subject of Christmas Books I can't help giving a plug to this one that has also just been published by Lightmoor -

    http://lightmoor.co.uk/view_book.php?ref=L8023&section=CatNew

    Gone to War - the North Stafford's Fallen Railwaymen

    Short biographies of (most) of the Knotty's men who fought in the Great War, many on the Western Front but quite a few in the Middle East, plus a full list of those who served (and returned). Very thought provoking but also containing many fascinating photos and stories of how recruitment worked and the range of jobs the men performed.

    Royalties to be shared between the North Staffordshire Railway Study Group and the Knotty Coach Trust.

    The loco hasn't even run properly yet. She did 1x test trip that highlighted a few niggles, which the Flour Mill are currently on with. She should be up and running well before Santas are over.
