A good day yesterday, even if it was a bit chilly.
56006, for once! , did exactly what it was supposed to do. That is sit in the platform, do exactly nothing , and look so unloved that it encourages people to not only join thd C56G but to volunteer to help work on the loco.
Fortunately the rather faded and weathered side of 56006 was on the platform side.
And it worked, we recruited 8 new members , at least three of which have already begun the process of becoming working volunteers. Welcome on board.
Our layout ‘ Arnold Lane’ was reunited with 56006 for the first time since they both appeared together at Bartow Hill.
