Today, Lord Mandelson, Secretary of State for Business Innovation and Skills, announced the creation of a National Skills Academy for Railway Engineering. This initiative has been passionately championed by music and railway industry entrepreneur, Pete Waterman, who has worked tirelessly for the past three years to make this happen. Pete said, “I couldn’t be more pleased that the government has formally recognized the compelling need to invest in the training of the current and future generation of workers in this strategically important industry. I am now fully focused on bringing the benefit of this initiative to Crewe where I am working with key local and national stakeholders to open a major Skills Academy in the town”.
As most of you know, this year has seeen me the busiest I’ve been for a long time what with the National Apprenticehsip Scheme, Eurovision and the start of the model railway show season
and losing Helen for a week with a broken leg, it will not be possible this year to do the planned Railnuts event at Swindon on April 10th. The good news is that this will give us a little more time to organise next year when I will definitely not be doing Eurovision
At last here are the photos you all wanted to se today at Crewe 03 09 2010.
On the 17th of Feb 2010 I went down to the Mid Hants Railway to open their new works at Ropley. Thanks guys for the shovel which I will use with pride. So heres a few shots.

Garret 109. The front end is now well on the way and the tanks will soon get started on . This is what they looked like at Crewe today as well as the B1 cooper box.
I will now do the Wolverhamptons club date that was snowed off on the 24th of Febuary at Codsal from 7 30. See you then.
As you will know we had twenty apprentices start the first week in Jan. Well we had a foot of snow, days when it was 8 below ,so here we are at the end of the second week and heres some photo. I have to say that even with these appalling conditions they have not lost any time and are already to send
the wheels off to North Wales. Photos by Keith Langston.
