Tell you wat I'll have a look when I'm next at home, should be in about a week and a half. Supposed to be doing tti training that weekend too so should be down. What do you need, just a jacket or the whole thing? The women in there works at the railway so might get a discount, I think my jacket was only a few quid.

I don't think you can at the mo, but you can get those from over places. Ask Paul at some point. Oh and if you want to get on the footplate apparently there's a rumour goiing around that they're going to try and get as many people to fireman when they're around 16 cos they're facing shortages.

do you get to start training before your sixteen
it would seem a good idea 2 train people before they can legally go on footplate

Yeh you can start cleaning and stuff you just can't get on the footplate. That guy that owns the crane and stuff was cleaning and lighting up Birch Grove when I was last down there. Looked Pretty

I know, one more year and I will be allowed. Being a bluebell man, birch grove would be one of my main jobs, I know how to fire it, has a special trick if you don't want to use too much coal

Yep, well nearly, I think it will be a fast track overhaul, you know the large queue they have there and it's a must that they get it back to service as quick as possible
