A quick update. All locos including visiting "Fox" in working order as of this evening, demonstration freight train assembled, looks good (see our Facebook page). Hope to see some of you there this weekend!

 

All the best for the weekend. I was impressed by your little line when i stopped off for a visit on my way to Weymouth at the end of Summer.

 

Thank you, George.
