    Right Dave, here’s the plan.
    You distract the museum curator and I’ll have that Field Marshall.

    They have just announced on Radio Caroline that a loco at Mangapps is to be named after the Radio Station on 1st October.
    Full details supposedly being posted on the RC website in the near future, but said to be one dating "from 1959 and which used to run into Liverpool St" - so presumably one of their Class 31's (31 105?), and the naming ceremony is going to be conducted by Rick Wakeman!

    Seen pictures of a freshly repainted 31105 so that seems like a sound bet.

    Don't suppose anyone has an e-mail address for Mangapps, as anything like that (apart from a phone No) seems to be conspicuous by its absence on their website.......

    They have a Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/mangappsrailway/
    There's a contact email on there: jjmangapps @ gmail.com

    Whether that is up to date I don't know

    Not sure how often he looks in on here TBH as his last posting was back in March. I've used the e-mail on the FB page so will see if I get a response, otherwise I'll phone the Museum next week.

    EDIT: Contact made and he's just gained a new exhibit!
