    I'm not even sure I'd walk that one off and I'm almost a third of his age! I hope he kicks back and relaxes.

    Any news of John Cameron with all this excitement about 60007's return. I hope he's getting there.

    All the traction engines have now found a new home at Statfold so there should be plenty of room for everyone to stare at 60009.

    Along with the traction engines there was a vintage tractor, a water cart and a low loader.
    This kit obviously took up a great deal of space which will now be available for Number 9.

    The items moving to Statfold certainly could not be going to a better home. The standard of display and of presentation of items at the site puts most museums to shame.

    Minor correction to your text; Wkipaedia note = Gresley began his career at Crewe as a premium apprentice before becoming a pupil under Aspinall at Horwich.
