Meeting Reports
On 14/6 was the occasion of the 'Members afternoon’.
Bob Stonehouse brought along a number of slides featuring Steam Specials
he rode on in the 1980's. It was a nostalgic presentation as many of
the locomotives are no longer operating on the main line such 46229
' Duchess of Hamilton' or 4771'Green Arrow'. Also of note was the variety
of liveries and the 'run pasts' which were possible then. Chris Appleby's
slides recalled his three visits to China around 1990 and the magnificent
sight of their steam locomotives hauling heavy freight trains. Chris
recalled that the local officials were relatively relaxed and didn't
seek to prevent photography.
