Hi, John,

This stupid site won't let me send the message. Could you e-mail me on j.norman2007@btinternet.com

Hi Tom, I hope you don’t mind me messaging you. I am the commercial director at the Telford Steam Railway. Would you know who I would need to speak to regarding 9014’s stay in Wales please. I was hoping to see if we can come to an arrangement that when 9014 returns to the Bluebell Railway she may be able to breat her journey with a visit to our railway on her way home. Thanks in advance, Richard

Hi Pete. Its 14.40 on Monday 6th. Im experiencing the same issue over last few days as Harold reports . The NP site very slow to load, or times out. That both getting in and also moving from one subject tab, or page to another. Thought best mention it as in you message at 13.41 to Harold you suggest its fixed. Seems have persisted. Hope that helps. Mike Hart.

Hi again Pete - everything it back to normal now - so someone has fixed it Harold Cloutt

Hi Pete - I've noticed that the forum has been running very slowly over the last couple of days - even 'timing out' on occasion. This is happening on any divice which I use. Our internet connection is FTTP with a speed of 140Mbps - so this seems to point to a problem at the forum's server end. Just thought that admin should be informed.

Hi Harry,

I was speaking with (I think) Tom Clarke at Bewdley a week ago about the impending return of 1450 to the SVR, and that it would be available for the 2025 Spring Steam Gala, but I have been unable to contact him since, as I wanted to know what next years dates are as I'm the owners rep, can you help?

Best regards,

Reg.

Hi Phil, apologies for a slightly random question - are you part of the Windcutter group at the GCR? I'm a volunteer on the Dean Forest, and we've got a pair of mineral wagons which, if I was being very polite, are in extremely poor condition and probably only fit for spares. I wondered if you'd be interested in recovering anything from them for your fleet? Thanks, Adam, DFR

Thanks for the recognition, John, much appreciated. There will be photos going into the next Heritage Rail of the engine in the paint shop being lined and lettered. We and Ronan spent a lot of time researching the livery details, as should happen.

To be honest, i give up on these people playing trains rather than preserving history.

Hi, do you know what's happened to the "SVR Online Forum" of late, as I haven't been able to connect for a couple of weeks now? Best regards, Reg.

Hi LieLestoSbrat, hope you're well and that you had a good weekend. Apologies for reaching out via leaving a visitor message, but I don't seem to be able to PM you.

I was just wondering if you have an email address or can drop me a PM so that I can ask about some of your Trainz assets?

Cheers, PLP

Hi Fred, I run the website and social media for Southern Locomotives, owners of 34072. I saw your photo of 72 running with a high sided tender on the ELR in yesterday's Railway Herald. Please could you send me a copy to use in our forthcoming website news update. Full credit of course. Many thanks, Nick Thompson nhthompson@outlook.com

Hello, can I ask are you still involved with the Stanier mogul group?

Hi Howard.
I've begun to notice the absence of your always engaging and humorous comments, lately.
I do hope that all is ok with you.
Best wishes.
