Having sent out too many emails since midnight I’ve reached the limits allowed so may be unable to send messages even though I can receive them. Hopefully that will resolve itself by tomorrow. Apologies if you’re waiting for a reply from me

Lynneton Yard has been sold! It’s gone to the Suffolk area to a person who uses DC locos rather than DCC. He’s intending to re-do the wiring to be more compatible with DC and then take it to shows. I’ll let you know wherever I find out myself

This was on 5 May this year when the Taxi Charity took veterans to the Netherlands. A very small part of the money needed to pay for this came from donations for Poppy Cab badges. https://t.co/8AbNmPFGbz
