Hi Michael

Tremendous photos!

This seems as good a place as any to let you know our new email address as I no longer work where I used to, and I forgot to make a note of your email before I left. I'm now at andrewj.kirkham@ntlworld.com.

(Sorry for the off-topic personal correspondence, folks)

THE KING!!!

Post by DAVE »

As I have said on this forum before 6024 is the King!
What better sight is there to see, you can keep your A4's and "Spam" cans, the GWR locos were argubly the best looking of all the steam locos.
As always the 6024 society are to be congratulated on the way they turn out the King on each and every "run".
Long live the King!

I like the second photo where you can see most of the Bristol panel day turn dangling out of the access doors! Cracking photos!!!
