    Whilst it would have happened eventually if it hadn't been for the TR proving volunteers could run a railway I doubt railway preservation would be where it is today. They proved it could be done and trailed the path that we have all followed.

    Maybe we should all raise a glass or two tonight in memory to those who sixty years ago today in effect started railway preservation in the form we know it.
