    ⭐️ Exciting announcement ⭐️

    After 35 years we are going back blue and grey!

    We are excited to announce a 2 car class 108 will be turned out next year on blue and grey.

    So far one side of 53933 has been done with some finishing touches applied this morning. This car will be completed next year now as unfortunately the weather and temperature is turning against us.

    Please continue to follow our progress here…

    Given that all of the SVR DMU's have always been green for the entire time I have been alive, this is a great development and something different at last. I look forward to coming along for a visit to see it when done.

    Afternoon all

    David Postle at Kidderminster Railway Museum has asked me to share the following

    We have two events after Christmas

    1. Book fair. A sale of hundreds of rare, out of print and mint quality books for sale, primarily railway, but some buses as well. Also a half price sale of some of our second hand books. Starts on Boxing Day 10.00 to 4.30 each day to Sunday January 4th.
    2. Railway photograph fair - Saturday January 3rd 10.00 to 4.30 to be held in the former nursery building at the back of the main museum building. Thousands of railway photographs for sale plus the museum's own collection available for inspection and ordering copies.

    Both events are admission free.
