As the New Year and New Decade approaches we would like to say thank you for the support. Although progress is slow it doesn't mean it has stopped!
Work on the whistle is progressing and parts have been sourced to fit it to a working locomotive.

You can meet the team at the @MGNJointRailway Model railway show this Saturday, look forward to seeing you.
