    I hope to get into York on Tuesday to visit the National Railway museum (NRM) The new Tornado is on display and I intend to take a whole bunch of pictures.
    Would anybody like me post a few?

    Yes indeed :gnthb:
    I never thought I would ever see one built in these times. I heard talk of it several years ago at the GWR Toddington ,a mile from here and next door to the G-Centre I use.

    Yes please Capney. I watched the programme about the building of it with a glow as warm as the firebox! Lovely.

    Yes please. I am glad somebody else on here is a Rail Enthusiast, because I thought I was the only one.
    :lollol:

    Please see www.bramleyline.org.uk and then the supporters website using the link from this one and you will learn a bit more about a project I am well into.

    Look in the hobbies section, because when I get some response, I will post some on there and I have been told, some are Good. I make a point not to self-praise, but some I have taken recently have had considerable praise from others, with one being used on birthday cards in the near future. I already have a sample and to be honest, I am proud of it.
