[modeleng] Re: (ex) Dobwalls railway

Hi there Alan,

When you say planning application - it would be interesting to know what 
the planning application was about if you're happy to expand a bit on 
your original e-mail. Did they need a planning application 
for a commercial 7.25" gauge railway, or was the issue the buildings 
associated with it, or was it change of use from retail to funfair 'type 
issue'?

On a slightly seperarate note - I see that one of the smaller locomotives 
from the Dobswall line was up for sale a while back on 
www.stationroadsteam.co.uk - the blue Curwen locomotive detailed here...

Yours,


Rich.
