    I'm really late with my homework, but it is half term, and no the cat did not eat it! On Monday it was Maisie's birthday; as Maisie was a stray we don't really know her true birthday, but the vet at the rescue centre estimated that she was 18...

    Miff is entirely correct. I'm Maddie, I am currently responsible for looking after 120. It is most likely to steam next, although as you would imagine it is a slow process. 120 is in good condition with a recent works visit in South Africa...

    Out of interest, some folk may not know that the ACE, by name, is 100 years old this July. It was on 19th July 1926 that the first train to carry the name left Waterloo hauled at the time by a King Arthur Class locomotive. The name of the train...

    A cloudy start to the day gave way, during the afternoon, to sunshine. Old Oswald has been laid up for a couple of weeks with a chest infection and regrettably had to miss out on Monday's visit by 60532 and The Chairman's Train. Today was...
