Re: The Great Garden Railway Inspection Reports

Message to Irish Peter.

I have attempted twice to send you a PM requesting your full postal address
so that I can send the Inspector to you.

The messages seem to be stuck in my outbox.

Can you send me your postal address by PM and I will get him off to you.

Thanks Graham.

Re: The Great Garden Railway Inspection Reports

Must try and make it there one year, just need to tie it in some b and b and a bit of break.
Sadly the Elescar Show is no more.

Been replaced with the Yorkshire Garden Railway show in Bradford.

Re: Newqidas on the Block

Reading this thread has inspired me to get my Newqida coach out of the loft ( where it has been for 3 years)
and give it a run behind my Roundhouse Stanley Tram Engine.

Looks the part don't you think?.

Re: Goings on at The Overdale Valley Light Railway

Was going to post a photo of the loco and its load but I don't seem to be able to add an image. The forum Help pages d...
