I was due a do a talk tonight in wolverhampton and got to Euston by 4 going for the 23 mins past. This left at 5 to 5 by the time we got to Watford where they made a stop to pick up LMR passengers it was enough to tell me get off and head home. The units were starting to struggle. Sorry we will do it again soon

It been reported that the Rev Peter Denny has passed was away aged 92. He was one of the first guys to push railway modeling forward after the war. For all of us who saw his layout it made us think about what we had built. Try and look out some old mags and see for yourselfs. We are all better for what Peter did for modeling in the 50s and 60s. RIP
