after a quick check on the website, the beattie well tank is now going to be joined by the E4 from the bluebell which will run alongside the home fleet. also 'Martello' will b making a return visit.

wish I could make that, i think I'm at school, I board. I think I might have seen you in the model railway at least when I came round to first have a look, especailly when thinking about voluntering someone showed me around there. I did enjoy that, I think I might become a member again. When does the railway open, not neccessairly running but open? Do you know if it would be possible to help out at some point?
Many Thanks,
Ross

Ps Do you have msn?
