Hi Guys,
Just got home after a wonderful day out with Miss Shaggydog in Groombridge and Eridge and Tunbridge Wells!

Great pics Shaggy,...looks like a "traditional" Landrover setting.
Always loved Traction Engines & "Steam" Rollers,....I can remember them being used on roadworks when we lived in Vowchurch, a LLOONNGG time ago. Pickles. |

Indeed it is Phil
It was a fantastic day out! I have a very special connection with this railway as I joined as a volunteer when I was only 12 and worked my way up learning all my engineering and technical skills the hard and heavy way. I know more about steam engine maintenance then I do Land Rovers but to be honest 75% is transferable skills!

Steam is like Land rovers, Once it gets in your blood it calls you back Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197
