    The salvation of the 2 Taylor Hubbard 10-ton cranes on the Mid Hants was the sale by the railway to the owners of DS1580. There was no way that the railway could have stood the year-on-year costs - private owners take a different view, of course.

    From waht I have seen, no effort or advert at all despite the prtestations of some noisy GCRN people. I get the impression it was a financailly driven dispoals, not driven by the deisre to see it prederved anywhere. Sorry for the poor typing, I get a bit wound up and it doesnt always come otu right

    Rest assured that your meaning is very clear and your frustration and passion unmistakable.
