    Delighted to see this. It is produced by our own @Breva who does such a sterling job blogging for the GWSR which, in turn, has generated much support for the Broadway extension and rebuild.

    There is apparently a way to include a simple email subscription to Blogger, which I'm testing at the moment. If I can get it to work, I'll liaise with @Breva to see if it can be added to his blog.

    These two feeds were offered as for subscription when I set up the blog format. Previously blogger offered an email service, but I believe that is no longer available. There's nothing else among the 'widgets' that I can put on the page. Sorry about that!

    Shame. I didn't even know that Yahoo was still a "thing". I thought that it had bit the dust long ago!

    It certainly looks like an interesting engine, but I don't have the tech spec to comment on it. That said, I bet some L&BR purists might be having an apoplectic fit right now, but bring it on; it's what I said would happen 20+ years ago, but no one listened then :D:D:D

    At this rate, stick all the L&BR locos and rolling-stock together and it may well be longer than the original stretch of line when we first opened at WB :)
