    It does take a while to get through this new book. Find reading a chapter at a time helps. Which Donegal and Swilly kits do you have Colin?

    Correct serous talks held in 1941 in this issue. Two things stopoedcit such as the topography of the line as the GNR route was flat and level unlike the NG line Secondly by the time it was on the table it was 1942 and the tide in WW2 had started to slowly turn

    Photo of Barclay No 2 from 1932 leads me to agree with you Ernie
