Signed by both pairs of grand-parents!
Oh and cracking pics, James.
I was down there early on Sunday (some one has to bring the milk for your tea!) and also on Saturday. It was busy then but I think most people had turned out to see the 'Duchess' making her first public appearance since her re-build and new coat of paint. She looks like my old Hornby-Dublo 'Duchess'
Don't forget, folks: Oscillator and Vintage weekend May 5th, 6th and 7th (it's a Bank Holiday weekend) featuring Furness Railway no.20 hauling the Vintage stock on the big railway.
It should be a splendid sight!
So let's see all those Mamods and old treasures!

Hey those are nice pictures. I gather from some of the lineside flowers and shoots that it's springtime over there now?

Oh yes! "The Spring Has Sprung" etc, etc in fact we switch over to British Summer Time in less than a fortnight
Nice shots James, I didn't take too many because of the low batteries - should've really instead of bothering with the video

It's the day after the show at Peterborough, a change in the weather has been forecast for later in the week, so the only sensible thing to do is
GET OUT AND RUN SOMETHING!
Pendo Pilot and Capt Sparrow made the trip up to visit....
Sorry Doug - but it was there so I took a photo.....
And Ogwen was on trials with a replacement meths burner (thanks Jack!)
Video to follow
