Well deserved, that should buy a few nuts and bolts. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

------------------------------------------------------------------- - 27 November 2014 19:06275012Well done, Gary. Josh & team with acknowledgements for keeping welding apprentice Vic M off the streets.
A thoroughly deserved tangible recognition to a dedicated crew. - 27 November 2014 19:44275013Well what can I say the above post is great
and a very big well done to Gary and the rest of the members good end to the year. I will be out at the weekend,Mr Watkins sir ,why not join up with myself ,But I am the boss this time 
I need helpers on the bridge and I can teach you a new trade .I have spend the cash in my head already ,only joking I am way down the list what I and my small team are doing will take 3 or more years.I would think the steam train would be in the running for some of it. But I do not know just glad Gary got a return after all the work and hours he puts into it. - 28 November 2014 18:22275034What a roller-coaster week that was.
Not often I am left speechless but I was struck dumb when she said we had won second place prize of £50 grand.
Many many thanks to all of you, who took time out and spent some of your money to call up and vote for EKR's "Prepare for Steam" Project.
It goes without saying that without such support we would not have received this much needed funding, so we really do appreciate it.
This was truly a team effort and just goes to show that when you all pull together and work as team you can achieve anything.
Please come and join us on our exciting journey to restore our past.
Cheers everyone. "My New Year's Resolution, is to try and emulate Marek's level of chilled out, thoughtfulness and humour towards other forumites and not lose my decorum" - Jan Higgins

- 30 November 2014 05:32275067Over the next four weeks should see the very first section ready to go up. At this time it is on show to the public but will not be going up for a long time yet.The next job will be to get section two done this will take longer because of the work needed on it but once done we will join both sections up to each other with tem/bolts and then workout how the new floors will go in place.
Same time the legs will be repaired and painted ready to go up I hope by the end of next year.But we need helpers of all kind.Thank you The Christmas time table for trains running will start today the site looks great for the family so lets see the public turn out in numbers for this event which goes on right up to Christmas
I would like one of you to come out a take a photo of the bridge and post it on the forum for all to see.
