    Pinned post was updated yesterday in reflection of the announcement of the S15 attending. Obviously a reminder that as of the middle of June, previously announced 7828 "Odney Manor" is unable to visit. The webpage for the event as of posting is yet to be updated with details but the link is here

    Let the L&Y machines have a rest, bring in another couple of Southern machines and a GW pannier tank, and we could have a West Country themed event! Event let the hydraulics out if they repainted them green :D !
