    The Middleton Railway has had another visit from the metal plunderers. This time it was 23 3-link couplings. Not a big loss in the overall scheme of things but when you don't have many spares it presents real problems!

    Do any railways have a surplus of spares that we might acquire some of? (3 link or instanter)

    I'm hoping that we at the KWVR can help you get up and running again.

    Messages exchanged with your Chairman via Twitter and now much more old-fashioned voicemail too!

    We at the Mid-Hants may also be able to help too as our freight is fitted and we do not use the 3 link couplings.

    I will check to see what we have when next I am down and see if it is OK to give them to you though I foresee no problems with this.

    Regards

    Thanks for the offer, Chris. We've had quite a few positive reponses, not just on Nat Pres, and we are looking at the most sensible option. Will let you know.
