I have just heard of the death of Dick Hardy - a big loss to all the railway fraternity. :cry: Anyone who conversed with Dick, had correspondence with him, or heard him speak at meeting was recipient of a rare treat. One wonders how many of the current railway management are capable of rolling up th...

Due to a minor, but irritating glitch (my fault alone) the following outdoor fixtures are planned by the West Midlands Branch for this year, but they will not be in the RO.
