They don't bite you know! (well, not often!)

If we go I'll let you know what time I expect to be there. It's impossible to plan in advance... we're always late wherever we go :roll:

You got a mobile yet?

(ooops! I edited your post instead of quoting it!! Sorry about that!)

~ I can do the same :twisted: :lol: ~

Nope, no mobile! I choose to remain in the stone (or should that be steam?) age! :lol:

I'll probably get the 0948-1110 train there...maybe the 0844-1010 but that does sound a bit early :roll:

The WSR Diesel Electric Preservation Group wants a new loco, and they have eyes on either a 37 or 47. They don't want a 50 (dunno why), and 20s aren't powerful enough apparently :(

Be nice to see a split headcode 37/0 in green...they'll have to get one with steam heating whatever happens :P

Cameras

Post by Mike »

Canon 300D if your feeling keen.

or

I always carry a Canon IXUS, have a 500. Gave to the "Old Man"just got a IXUS 700, brill camera. Rated :-)

I have used the cameras more than the SLR.

Good for Train Stff, but mainly MTB Extreme Sports.

Get a Canon.

Nah, I decided against it. The Mid Hants says that Merchant Navy class "Canadian Pacific" will be in steam this month, and the Bluebell are saying the same about West Country "Blackmoor Vale". When it comes to expensive trips I have to get my priorities right :lol:
