To red pen something is to underline/mark in your spotter's book with red pen the loco/unit you have been hauled by. Black pen for seen. So Matt is saying someone's Dad (and I'm guessing his as I believe Matt Senior is a long-time SVR...

silversteellady liked OldSchoolTrains2's post in the thread SVR Summer Gala - 18&19 July.
Intrigued to see if that prompts a wider diagram rewrite as the 07 was mainly due to top and tail one of the local sets on Bridgnorth-Hampton Loade shuttles with Holly Bank No.3, and that seems an unlikely turn for something Warship sized to end...

I don't do it as I can't spare the cash these days but I always said if I ever won the "Euromillions" lottery, a lot of heritage railways, loco groups and new builders would be getting most of it :) Oh - and I'd commission a J70 ;)

silversteellady liked OldSchoolTrains2's post in the thread Gartell Light Railway.
I'd heard from relatives who live nearby and know some of the people involved in the line that this might be on the cards, but they're surprised it's happening as soon as the end of the current season. I grew up very close to the line and one...
