If I was any good at that I'd have stayed single..!!! Some of us pay a heavy price for that time in our teens/20s when we lost interest in trains somewhat...!!! :roll: :cry:

I have merged this topic
Toddlers permitting I will be there on Friday or Saturday, most likely lineside, as the journey is a little long for the little 'uns

Hi Jordan :wave:
Don't book any hols in October, the SVR diesel gala is well worth the effort , I or someone else will put details up when they appear(usually lots of proper diesels ), The ELR July diesel gala is usually well worth a look too, tasters of these in previous years of these events are on my Youtube channel
