I will have all details for those who pre-ordered and how how to pay the box sets sent by Tuesday at the latest, the reason for the delay has been due to organising the Boxsets and delivery of the individual components to make them up which includes a special booklet on the history of the two Evening Stars written by our senior curator Anthony Coulls and also because I’ve had a few days on holiday to attend the Hunslet 125 gala and the 50th Birthday of the KWVR.

The next model railway event at shildon is tomorrow and Sunday and yes I do have a Stirling Single production as we had a couple specially flown in this week the rest of them are coming by sea in the following weeks, everyone who has one on order I will be in touch very soon with confirmed dates etc Regards Stuart Anyone who wants to see the single please ask for Stuart at the shop tomorrow and sunday at the Shildon Model Railway Club Exhibition which is on at Locomotion (open 10-5 both days with free entry)

The railway stall that was in Pickering flea market is Dave edge and he is now in the shop next to the co-op at Grosmont along with Grosmont book shop run by George Morton which is a fantastic place to find a book at a good price

Understandably I’ve had a lot of queries and phone calls this last week and We aim to reply to these within 5 working days however we do apologise that in busy periods this may slip slightly, which we are working on.

Just a quick check in as I’m currently riding behind 47406 and 13065 at the Great Central Railway Steam Gala, but we are only due the class 66 in the next few weeks the box set will be available in Summer as that is when we are due to get he 9f, if you have already ordered or reserved the box set, then that is still current the reason it’s no longer in the website is that we have allocated all sets. Regards Stuart Ps please say hi if you see me today

78018 has now arrived on site ready for the weekend

“Snow White To Stephenson” Thursday May 18, 2017 Over the next few months, Locomotion: The National Railway Museum at Shildon will host a series of talks by Curators from the National Railway Museum. The first talk in the series will take place in the Hackworth Room, Collection Building, on Thursday May 18, 2017, starting at 1.45pm. The title of the talk is “Snow White to Stephenson”, and the speaker is Bob Gwynne, Associate Curator for the National Railway Museum. Bob will give an insight into the pre-history of railways, going back to Cumbria in the 1560s. Railways have been a major part of industry for longer than you think – more than 200 years before George Stephenson! Before 1825, there had been more than two centuries of railway history – longer than the period of what we might term the modern railway. Far from being a bucolic byway, the railways were major arteries of industry. Bob explains all in his short talk – come along and find out more of this fascinating story! Tickets for the talk are £5 each – this includes tea/coffee and a scone. Tickets are available from the gift shop at Locomotion: The NRM at Shildon or from www.locomotionmodels.com. For more information, please call the Locomotion team on 01904 685780.

Hmmm, I'm very protective over chocolate, I wonder how that happened

Most of the works buildings still exist, just are used for other businesses these days, indeed the G5 is being constructed in a building on the site from what I can gather locally. Regards Stuart
