    Would anyone possibly know when the S160 arrives. Thank you for any replies.

    Hardly trolling, only a little lighthearted post.

    Yet your not a troll for filling threads with inane rubbish and asking questions you must be smart enough to know how to google.

    Maybe if the Moderators kept the thread on subject people who come here to discuss the operation of the WSR wouldn't get wound up by ploughing through pages and pages of said inane rubbish?

    I write as one who was criticised for writing about WSR trains running to Taunton in this thread.

    Managing the WSR thread would be a full time job for anyone if that is what the NP volunteers were solely here for, which they are not - it appears to be a Somerset problem!

    Much better would be a measure of self discipline from those who choose to post. Thinking at the moment of @Penmere but there have also been others.

    As a volunteer myself I do appreciate the efforts people put into making things work but I also feel that as long as nothing is done to moderate 'cider' threads they will continue.

    I shall try to exercise my own self discipline in not visiting this thread thereby reducing my stress levels.

    I need to apologize, my comment wasn't taken as intended. Purely in jest. Lesson learned.

    The Spring Journal arrived yesterday. I must say that I like the new cover design and the latest edition has much improved colour rendering. Well done!

    That's a great shame. Perhaps some ring fenced funds could be held somewhere for such eventualities in the future?

    Ours has not arrived yet. We're looking forward to when electronic distribution can be introduced.

    The team have put a lot of work into the new layout and design. The media is updated too.
    I would be grateful for all feedback on the new look and feel.

    Looks to me Anthony like a Mk1 in need of restoration , let's hope the inside doesn't need as much as the outside might indicate .

    Now this why I like GWR locos , they just look so good . This particular Manor is appropriate to me as I used to live in Foxcote Colliery Cottages , near Radstock , (this was when I did a lot of my cider drinking )
