See you there Ian

 

Looking forward to see how work has progressed since last Autumn's members day.

 

There is still plenty of time to apply for an Invitation.

There's a lot new to see, including:-

Re-modeled station

Launch (if that's the right word!?) of Davenport loco

Refurbished rolling stock

New rake of carriages (ex L&B)

Burton and Ashby Light Railway tram recently repatriated from the US

Is that post hinting that a certain Davenport locomotive might be completed already?

Are there plans afoot for any further 2ft restorations in 2015?

Looking forward very much to my 2015 visit.

Ive seen a photo of the Davenport and the speed of restoration amazed me! It looks really good...

Already started Ben!

Thanks both I look forward to seeing the Davenport and finding out what is next to receive the treatment!

 

I recieved my bright red invites a few weeks ago, looking forward to seeing the Davenport. If it's up and running that's amazing when you think of the condition it was in last March

Hoping the weather is more similar to last year's event than the arctic conditions we endured in 2013

 

The Davenport had its first run on Friday. All went well.

Just the usual finishing off now ready for its official debut on the 28th!

@Achar2001

Will that picture be in the next edition of Narrow Gauge World?

Ben

 

Sadly not - as is the way of these things I received it just after the latest issue (out on Friday) had been signed off for press! But we are doing something special with it in the following edition, the May issue.

 

My invitation dropped through the letter box today Very quick considering I only posted my form on Tuesday.

 

@Henry - Did you have any luck in hunting down engineering drawings for the Davenport? I seem to remember some of your people looking for them at one stage? I quite fancy having a go at modelling her

Ben

 

Can we see a picture!?

 

Hope to be there but depends on number 1 son in hospital. I need to send for an invitation just in case

 

Not long now!

 

I know! I can't wait to see the faces of the visitors, so much has gone on over the winter!

 

Really wanted to try and make this March event- sadly now I will be stuck working on the Isle of Man for 9 or 10 days!

Rather gutted!

As is traditional with SBR open days...there is so much NEW to see!
