[modeleng] Re: Natural Disaster

Hi Andy,

The season has already begun and we were doing well until last week. First 
we had some jughead hit a bridge just south of Eardington, that lost me a 
days firing and a 15mph restriction on until the end of the season. That 
shut the railway on Tuesday between Hampton Loade and Bridgnorth and on 
Thursday, the GWR pannier, 5764, threw a big end cotter mid section and 
caused delays of over an hour.

On a good note, the Engine house is looking good and is on time, I think it 
opens in August or September. Gentlemans racing machine???.... I didn't know 
we were having a Black Five in there!!!!!

Dave.

you made the 6 oclock new on radio 4 so must be bad! Just before the season
starts as well, hope the railway recovers soon. Hows the engine house coming
along? im waiting to get a good look at 'the gentlemans racing machine'.

I don't know if anyone has seen the news tonight about the freak weather in
the Midlands, it is phenominal. Not good for the Severn Valley Railway
though, I'm glad I was on the footplate last week because tha railway has
been closed due to several landslides, one taking out a signal and
depositing it almost in the river Severn at Arley. The line is blocked
500yds south of Bridgnorth to Bewdley and was caused by severe thunderstorms
last night, any volunteers want to assist with a shovel?

Oh dear, I'm at work, just had a holliday!!!

I feel sorry for the people living at the villages down the line, one 30ft
piece of tarmac was moved 300yds down the road and the rest of the road is
impassable, cutting the village of Hampton Loade off.

Dave.
