silversteellady liked jamesd's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.
It seems very strange for a businessman like Mr Smith who is obviously very financially aware, to spend time and resources restoring steam locos to just sit around doing nothing! I understand it is his perogative, they are his toys after all, and...

The hoped for appearance of Tulyar at the GCR diesel gala has sadly been cancelled. <BJ> ''While we are approaching the final stages of Tulyar’s 30 year restoration we have unfortunately run out of time to complete the remaining minor tasks and...

silversteellady liked ruddingtonrsh56's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
