28th Feb

Its exactly one month to the 30th Anniversary bash. One poor bloke wandered in thinking it was today! Are we ready? What do you think? Will we be ready? I hope so!

So, todays update. I haven't featured the model Tramway before so here it is:
A gorgeous 3/4" scale Pilcher by eric Hall. Fabulous.
On the opposite side some interesting models. From top to bottom: A model of thr Bury night soil car made by either the apprentices at Buty or Mountain and Gibson. The photograph shows the model on display c. 1905 though it has been altered. The 2 Manchester trams were donated to us and do run but tend to live in the case for reasons of space! The bottom model is the builders model of Blackpool 619 which does differ slightly from the finished item - note the double entrances. The green tower framing them? Why Blackpool 752 of course.

The dual gauge siding which will allow narrow gauge prototypes to run.


The new terminus showing the new (and complex!) pointwork and improved siding arrangements.
That's all folks!
