If we do get to the steam railway for a meet in 2011, perhaps this little fellow will come back out to have a look. I got these shots on my mobile earlier this year when I took another group of people up to the railway for an outing.

I was standing just at the back of the bus. The first six are the originals to give the scale. The second six have been cropped and expanded. Quality is not too great - they were on my mobile.

Certainly is! It would be good to see some new faces, and you'd be made more than welcome

I'm not a member but was made welcome at the last one in Crieff. The initiation rituals are a bit gruesome though but i'm sure you'll be fine

Indeed....

Don't get too concerned either - you might not have heard what Dunc said clearly at the meet.

What he actually said was, "I'll get my COAT"......

I also think I might be able to get to this one dependent of SWMBO if I can drop her off shopping somewhere for a couple of hours.

I actually worked on the historic cottages at the Steam Railway. One was demolished from a mile along the road (Corbiehall Cottage)and rebuilt using much of the reclaimed brick and wood/slate, I also drew up the plans from the original cottage for the rebuild. The photos that used to be inside the cottage showing work of the rebuild were also taken by me.

Not much a claim to fame but hey ho.

A brave man. A couple of hours is a long time to leave a woman shopping, unattended, with cash and/or plastic. Ireland may take less to bale out financially after that, from experience.....!!!!

Look forward to hopefully meeting you
