    The Gin Palace is looking wonderful. The team at the FR does some beautiful work.

    Maddie, I love your can-do spirit. Looking forward to Part 2, let me know when you get around to having those mugs available. What a great one-liner:)

    many thanks and most interesting . An uncanny knack of acceptable derisary offers and poisonous snake avoidance was what I took away ! look forward to part 2

    Watched parts 1 and 2 on youtube and am quite amazed at your achievements so far Maddie. Hope you can maintain the progress given your stated desire was "only" to own a train !!
    coach No 29 will be a truly wonderful vehicle when fully restored, as of course will be the locos.

    All power to your power tools Maddie and team, and hoping to see some progress updates in 2026

    Here’s part 2. Very impressive progress and so good that there’s an emphasis on conserving the vehicles & their components under cover, even if full restoration is some years away. And thoughts of how (e.g. starting by putting the assets into a Trust) things might be passed on to future generations.
