    A fellow motoring hack today told me that yesterday he spotted a lorry with a narrow gauge loco on the back heading east on the A5 near Shrewsbury. Reckoned it was boiler and chassis with a container in front with "likely the rest of the bits in it".

    Anyone throw any more light on this?

    Andrew C is the pres officer of the W&L and a fireman there so I'm pretty sure it isn't Chevallier.

    And safely tucked up in our running shed! And no, I can't say any more about its future as I don't actually know (Don't think anyone does actually...).
