Newtoncork Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 He was my neighbour when I lived in Armagh, had his layout in the garage and we used to run my Silverfox Mk3 push-pull on it. Was an amazing font of knowledge on railways. Told me he once had lunch with Rev Awdry in London and all they talked about was trains! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
