Its so nice to see that degree of attention to detail, particularly if it's that era you are representing, the Edwardians being an extremely "anal" generation.<br />I think I'd better shut up now as this is could be open to misinterpretation 😉 MarkPhaaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747852507990028985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-56688081631593670862018-05-10T10:09:08.405+01:002018-05-10T10:09:08.405+01:00A case of self deprecating humour.

We were all very impressed with the work done to bring this project to the state it at now. From the cleaning of the bricks for the station building at Broadway to the quality of the track and the general tidyness of the whole line. The helpful staff and general atmosphere throughout is a credit to you all. Iam sorry our brief phone call was not longer as our time was limited.<br />Thanks again for all the great blogs and photos, they have gone a long way to promote the GWSR.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225223650145169013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-11908109242623301472018-05-09T20:47:11.291+01:002018-05-09T20:47:11.291+01:00Measure the distance apart on one rail and you cou...Measure the distance apart on one rail and you could deduce the culprit!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225223650145169013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-88864694886395012702018-05-09T20:14:13.566+01:002018-05-09T20:14:13.566+01:00The marks on the rail are caused by wheel slip.
