Ivatt Diesel Re-creation Society

Considering how moribund the original scheme had become, it gives me a lot of pleasure to see how this is all going under the new leadership it has. I was greatly pleased to see a OO-scale model of 10000 (which had been converted to 3-rail operation) running on Tuesday at my local HRCA meeting which belonged to a recently-departed member and was being run in his memory.

In keeping with diesel re-creations, I've also signed up to the "Baby Deltic" lottery today

(As an aside, I rather liked this post by the BDP: Keep checking back here for updates, we will continue to use Facebook to spread the word but as it becomes ever more AI driven and ever more full of drivel our website will remain the only place where you can see full (and accurate) updates on the project.)
