Hi
Gresford was well worth the visit. It's a good little show (I hope Derek felt it was worth his efforts organising it).
Lots of interesting people to talk to. John Fitness (signals), Bryan Jones (JLTRT) and Richard Hersey (AGH wheel turner/finisher) all made contact, so well worth my time going. I also managed to get the smokebox, boiler and firebox done on the Fowler 2-6-2 so some productive work done as well.
I took the Aspinall A and Crab along and a lot of visitors had memories of those locos so interest all round.
