    The concept of a steam centre sadly hasn't stood the passage of time with Tyseley and Carnforth now essentially engineering bases and TOC hq's . Dinting closed and Didcot has made the best of it creating a fabulous showcase of all things GWR...

    Certainly Carnforth is a better base than Dinting for the type of business that WC has become. Having said that, as is true for anyone who has had the luxury of more space than strictly needed, it does sometimes lead to 'hoarding' ...... My...
