  3. 35B reageerde op het topic Minimum age for volunteer crews.

    Indeed - which neither I nor I believe @Bikermike suggested. Indeed, re-reading that email he said what I would have thought - that while this provides useful clarification of one aspect, it needs to be made to work in parallel with other legal...

  4. Ben Jenden vond Wagoniester's post leuk in het topic Swanage Autumn Steam Gala 11-13 September.

    Tornado has been confirmed as being the only guest for this event in a comment by the railway on its Facebook page. Something else had been lined up but seems to have fallen through. I believe 80104 has fallen slightly behind schedule and won't...
