Where are they going? John
If anyone is in Cornwall this coming weekend, try to come to our meeting at 6.30 pm on 14 December at the Community Centre, Foundry Row, Redruth....
Personally, I prefer authenticity with both station names and loco numbers. But if renamings and renumberings make the gala more attractive to...
This looks really good - well worth supporting this venture. I must say that a lot of good new ideas are being tried on this railway; let's hope...
