[trainsandco]

As I'm a volunteer at Didcot now, I'll be (hopefully) getting plently of pictures of the centre. Although these pictures were taken before I became a volunteer.
















Enjoy

Last set of photographs for today! and these pictures are actually from Saturday (after I had clocked off) from working.







Sorry I tried to be arty on the next 2 shots

It's offical, Pendennis Castle is definatley finished now. As someone has drawn a face on it!

Not sure if many of you have seen this view before, especially as the loco was stationary and being coupled to the coaches


Warmth.


Thats all for now.

I would like to be a volunteer at Didcot, but I'm only 14...

[trainsandco]

If you send them an email asking whether you could do work expierence and say that it would help when getting a job, they are more likely to give you a position. Thats what I did (I was 16 when I started a few months ago).

I feel like I've failed you guys I forgot my camera today, and my phone ran out of battery after 3 photo's. What also really rubbed salt in my wounds was, the HST being named, the amazing line up outside the shed and seeing my First Collett Goods! ARGH! Oh well, at least I'm going back next weekend, although there will be no HST there then, (leaving at about Midnight tonight)

So I'll upload those pictures soon for you. But its not the most and the qualities not the best

Well, for what it's worth I really enjoyed looking at the pictures you'd already posted. It's quite strange looking at something in a catalogue and then seeing it in the flesh, so to speak!

Sigh. I wish my volunteering had worked out better.

[trainsandco]

Well then guys, I spent today at Didcot, got lots of pictures (and videos)

The videos shall be edited into one, and the pictures will be uploaded soon for you all to enjoy

Earl of Mount Edgecombe

Earl Bathtub

Pendennis Castle (thats Drew, the Project leader)

Well on with the show!
When I got to Didcot, this had just pulled up outside the centre

And this then pulled up into the Main Demonstration line




















Environmentalist's - They See me rolling....they be hating...

Well, there you go. That's it for now.
