    Yes I am an active volunteer
    They used to do a Gala in May each year called Coming Up With The Goods and it used to feature picking up and dropping off wagons in Quorn Yard. I used to like it but they stopped a couple of years ago. Maybe a fresh take on that theme.

    I haven't been to the GCR in a long time, maybe I'm overdue a visit....

    Well worth the trip, enjoyed both days on the trains and trackside. The 9F looks the business as Evening Star and the 8F still smelled of fresh paint/varnish as she steamed past in the sunshine on Saturday. Two images from the weekend... IMG_6603lr.jpg IMG_6683lr.jpg
