  1. 3 days of work then Railfest on Saturday. 400 mile + round trip but is going to be worth it :)

  2. Booked my Ticket for Railfest 2012 at York. Haven't been to York for 14 Years when I was about 6 or 7. Fingers crossed 4472 is ready for static display there.

      I'm going the day after you. 4965 Rood Ashton Hall is bringing in a railtour to York that day and have yet to see any of the Tyseley fleet. I'm hoping I'll have enough time to look round the NRM but not to sure if I will.

  3. Anyone know any reasonable priced hotels near the NRM in York. Planning on going to Railfest and NRM on eith 8th and 9th June or 9th and 10th June

      There used to be a good youth hostel just up the river ... fairly easy walking distance.

  4. Bought an Academy Educational Kit of Trevithick's Penydarren. Which is a great kit despite the fact that the loco itself is actually his earlier Coalbrookedale loco

  5. Just finished watching Toy Stories. Britain beats the Germans twice today then. Yah

      Just seen it passing my place (leaning out of my front room window) but can't help thinking the diesel on the back was doing a lot of the work...

      It was delayed leaving H/H and got stuck behind a Brighton stopper... so was hardly shifting when it passed Wivelsfield. Shame. I think the 47 was ticking over -producing carriage heat ? - but there wasn't much in teh way of grunt from it as it passed us.

      Apparently it had path problems coming out of Three Bridges and arrived at Haywards Heath around the time it was due to depart.
