The HST For Tamara

champy · Post by **champy** » Sun Nov 14, 2004 4:58 pm

After having a Virtual HST named, myself and Jamie McEwen have written a letter to GNER asking for a HST to be named in Tamaras rememberance

I have asked for Matts blessing and got it and this letter will be going in the post First Class tommorow:-

Dear Sir/Madam

I have a request which I hope you will be able to assist us with. We are part of a Rail Simulation group and one of our membersâ€™ family was involved in tragic accident.
His daughter was killed after being struck by a drunk driver in Inverkeithing.
Tamara McIntosh was only aged 9.
She like her father Kerr had become a rail enthusiast and her favourite type of train was the GNER HST. Kerr has contributed to our group in a large way and has made various stock and a Scottish Route.

A few of our members are actually naming a Virtual GNER HST in her memory and we appreciate that it would generally have to be some pre arranged idea to have a Locomotive named but we as a group thought it would be a nice gesture to dedicate a real power car to his daughter in remembrance.

We realise there may be a problem in producing the lettering you use for the names and our group would like to contribute to it in someway.

I look forward to your response and thank you for your assistance in this matter

JamieMcEwen & Jon Champ

On Behalf of UK Trainsim

http://www.uktrainsim.com

We will be, if successful ,looking for donations towards it
however large or small and i will arrange it to be made through Matt/ukts and then the donation made from UKTS as a whole

Any comments?

I think that many of us here would gladly contribute to this, If they say yes then I will donate as well!

Lets just hope that they do.

Something like this could be a pretty powerful tool in a road safety campaign. Even if it is a train... Might work...

Any way I can contibute I'm happy to!

I would love to help, but would payment have to be by credit card or would cheques do?

Yep, count me in! Might it be an idea to start one of those online pertitions and have people sign it?. Then you could print off a hard copy and produce to GNER with your letter. Just an idea.
