Thank you for the photos of Bridge 10 as it is. Hopefully when people see them they will be even more willing to contribute to the costs.

JBTEvans replied to the thread Dean Forest Railway steam gala 31/10 & 1/11.
Been to the DFR today, busiest I've seen a gala, had to stand on several services, who'd have thought two black tanks would be so popular. Ran to time all day, excellent stuff.

Sidmouth4me liked Sawdust's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I spoke to the new trust chair at length, I found him amenable to listening to what I had to say, he came across as sharp, I believe his background does equip him to sort this mess out. You have to remember that bridge 42 is only one front on the...
