GENTS
The railtour to Wales by "King Edward 1" has been moved from 4th March to 25th March due to "Pathing" problems with the extra traffic generated by the Powergen Rugby semi finals in Cardiff.

See huwbutton.com/6024/main for a full report on Sundays superb run.
The king according to all concerned produced one of the finest runs it has ever done in preservation in terrible weather conditions and pulling 12 coaches[450tons]
Tangmere and 76079 eat your hearts out!
Long live the King!
