Popular Post Andrew P Posted May 1, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) We had a visit this afternoon from one of our Daughters and 4 of our Great Grand Daughters. They wanted to see Great Grandads Trains. They were so good, and even the the youngest got the hang of F2, Braking after a few go's up and down the Yard. With the two hand sets in operation they were really enjoying it with Horns blowing every few seconds. Edited May 1, 2021 by Andrew P 17 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauliebanger Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Andy, Is it true that it's only remaining there to retain the 'Cherished Registration'?

Best regards, Paul Hi Paul, At the moment its only done with Windows Paint, but if I did it properly, I'd take the wheels off. Back in 1975 ish, There was a Minor 1000 Traveller for sale for £25, the No Plate was ATP7, my initials and Racing No, I was only earning about £20 a week, and owed my parents about £25 so I didn't dare ask the question. Mum and Dad always said I should have. Number plates didn't mean so much back then. I now have an ATP private plate, but it cost a bit more than the whole car would have.
