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

You got a mobile yet?

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

~ I can do the same ~

Back home in time for the 37s up Filton Bank

What day & time are there 37's up Filton Bank? How many?

I love the sound of them

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

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

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

Pete - Surprised that you're off to this gala today - would have thought that you would be staying at home watching the wedding of the century!!

Canon 300D if your feeling keen.

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.

You're two pages too late and a bit out of my budget

James, did you go to the GWR diesel gals in the end?

We went, but got there quite late.

A pic. (there will be more!):

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
