The steady stream of arrivals of exhibits for Tracks to the Trenches has continued.Our friends in Skegness, the Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway Historic Vehicles Trust have sent a Class P Ration Wagon, which makes an interesting contrast with the similar wagon from Amberley which arrived a few weeks ago via the War and Peace show. The two Welsh Highland Heritage Railway locos – Motor Rail 264 and Baguley 760 arrived in some style. MR264 is, of course, the oldest Motor Rail in Great Britain.
Finally, and perhaps best of all, the long-awaited arrival of HC1238 – the Trust’s Very Own Steam loco – took place. This, along with the Joffre and Brigadelok – took part in a photo charter, and very good it all seemed to. Many, many Pixels were harmed during the day. 
In other news, our genuine First world war wagon fleet continues to swell – with several large projects nearing completion. This is perhaps just as well, since the event opens on Friday!
First World War Centenary – lead by the IWM
Attended the show today (Saturday), absolutely brilliant.
Fantastic variety with all the different locos, wagons, Tank, vehicles, model railways, recreations, the trench. In fact about the only thing missing was a vintage aircraft display.
Had a great time, many thanks for your efforts in putting this together.
