Burton on Trent model railway event Sunday
Extra line through Tamworth means bridge alterations which is slowing traffic over the bridge. Britain has many bridges over railways which means train height is limited (no double deckers) and extra lines difficult to justify expense. On the other hand the Victorians did a good job and bridges do add to road users safety.

I saw several railway wagon designs on sale from China including a cement carrier and other big freight wagons. I do not know where I would put them!

I bought a great DVD of three British train journeys in the UK taken when steam was king. They are very nostalgic with passengers dressed in suites and enjoyng restaurant cooked meals. The behind the scenes footage courtesy of the government Transport Department film unit.
