Looks absolutely fantastic to me.  If only it was close enough for me to 
send my own son there.  We do have a few young members, 10 to 14 age group, 
but would love lots more to let them see just what it's all about.

I've just acquired an 8 speed gear box which I'm cleaning up to take to 
scout sessions to let them strip it down and rebuild it.  A good way to 
introduce them to engineering but it seems very tame in comparison.

Hi Guys,

I wish I had this at my school, it might have made me attend more. I am
going to contact this school and offer my full support, not far from me, to
get kids this interested is brilliant. I wis and hope, more engineering
societies would let kids, "Have a go" on quiet days if they are supervised.
As long as no passengers are carried, kids are supervised closely, I don't
see any reason they cannot have a go driving. Maybe the insurance companies
are a little scared, ok, I drove my first loco at 14, so what? It was a WD
2-10-0, No600, Gordon, formally of the longmoor military railway in 12" to
the ft scale. What would the insurance people say bout that?...

Either way, have a look at the website and their railway, it's better than
quite a few clubs I know, and without the political hassles!
