    Just had a nice drive round the Cotswolds, taking in the good Captain's beloved OWW and the Stratford - Cheltenham line. Not to mention spending £70 on books in the shop at Toddington! Smashing ;o)

    Minus 8 degrees at Mountsorrel last night, the loco's screw coupling froze and we had to pout hot tea on it so we could tighten it up!

      I used to enjoy Rules & Regs exams - whichever side of the table I was sitting! But it could be a hectic time preparing when you were 'the victim'.

      It's amazing how much 'stuff' the brain can keep in and let out when it needs to Mike...!

      Well done Nidge, I know several bobbys who like to get "ruled" out of the way.

    Really good to see D7017 on the Glos & Warks this morning, cheered me up no end. More Hydraulics on the line would be even better!
