    1 in 300 is technically a gradient...
    Also as a Stoke Golding Resident any chance you are interested in volunteering at a heritage railway close to home...? ;)

    No I do not currently volunteer
    I did drop in at Shackerstone back in 2010 when I retired, looking to volunteer in the loco, but it was like the Marie Celeste of sheds - apparently the loco(s) were on hire and came with their own support, so I joined the Churnet …. on the pway, for the fresh air and views.
    These days I’m too ancient to lug sleepers around and spend my time volunteering with CRT on the local canals.

    Bagnall 16in 0-6-0ST w/no 3059 'Florence No. 2' has arrived at Shackerstone on an initial 12 month agreement, back at the railay where she was first preserved in 1978. My understand (which may be incorrect) is that Austerity 7289 'Fred' is currently expect to handle all the Santa Specials but Florence may make her 2nd debut at the Battlefield Line for the post Christmas running from December 30 - January 1
