    Unfortunately I did not make it to Kidderminster museum in time to see this exhibition of Gifford’s colour images.
    However, I seem to recall Steam Railway magazine suggestion that the exhibition would tour other sites around the UK.
    Does anyone have further info or would like to make me jealous by telling me what I missed?

    Thanks

    Ben

    I have to say having seen the exhibition it was stunning . May not appeal to some but it shows not just in railway terms but in our environment what we've lost . there is a sampler on the Kidderminster Railway Museum website and I believe it's next destination is known but it's not my place to reveal it plus there is a book as well to come

    The exhibition was absolutely stunning. It's going to be shown at least once more somewhere too. A lot of the pictures Colin hadn't seen blown up before! Several were shown at a Stevenage Loco Society meeting earlier this year. Even though I remembered seeing some of them before, it was good to study them in detail.

    Anyone know about further showings of this exhibition? I am sure it will be "worth a detour" as the Michelin guide puts it.
