Hi Nick, been a while but hope all well with you and you enjoyed your day. I did Sunday so we missed each other again but it was a good event & busier than I've seen before.
All the best, Brian.
Love this line, not been for a while. Occupants of new houses at Bosworth are in for a surprise. Pity I couldnt afford one, heaven, lol 🤣🤣
Looks like a lovely railway.
