I had a 'phone call today from the W&LLR telling me that the vintage trains are cancelled due to the fire risk. Which is frustrating but at the...
I had a rather nice letter arrive in the post this morning from the GCR RST thanking me for some donations I've made and enclosing some...

Reading their motion appeal for the P2, I'm a little confused. They want 175 people to pay £1,000 each (factoring in giftaid), in instalments of...
I'm not sure how far the £50,000 would go, however we do have the cylinder block (new-old stock that would originally have been a spare for an...

Thanks for the info (I too rely on the Bridging the Gap website for updates.....) I'm surprised this wasn't in the issue of Mainline that landed...
