    As a follow up to the Gala, I had the delight to organise and hold four days of charters alongside @steam_mad, and once again my lighting rig managed to get us some additional photos of what can easily be considered as a once in a lifetime oppurtunity of seeing No. 828 at Bo'ness. Thanks to everybody involved and who attended.

    For those of you who attended the gala and thought it could be improved upon by being able to pass trains at Birkhill... here is your chance! Signal box appeal launched this week, with £20k of the £60k needed for a signal box already raised thanks to generous donations!
