[Leica] [imgs] Inglesham Church Now preserved railways

[philipprice80 at yahoo.com (Philip Price)]

Hi Charlie / Douglas Thanks for the tip, I am on holiday this coming week, 
and have nothing planned, so providing I can square it with? "She who must 
be obeyed " I might try and get down there. Douglas I have never ridden the 
NYMR so I envy you, also the Severn Valley Railway have their autumn gala 
25/26th September, with a pretty impressive line up of loco`s. Regards Phil

The GWR also has another famous steam locomotive worth mentioning - the City 
of Truro was the first steam locomotive to travel at a speed in excess of 
100 mph.
But a 9F like "Black Prince" can hardly be beaten for sheer size - a 2-10-0 
is pretty colossal, if not quite as sleek as an A4 streak (I'm hoping to 
taking a trip on the NYMR pulled by "Sir Nigel Gresley" in about 3 weeks.)

Cheers
Douglas
