    I believe the GNRS had its open day there too, and how lovely that John Cameron was there as well :) I would love to paint one of my Hornby-Dublo 0-6-2Ts in GNR livery but it's a bit too intricate for a beginner like me!

    Looks like the two visitors are double heading the Kidderminster shuttle, rather than toping and tailing. Sent from my SM-A166B using Tapatalk
