Great episode will and team! Great episode. Can't wait to see CP back into traffic! Hope to ride on it next year! Also, any updates on 73096 and Swanage?

Here is an idea when you finished building Canadian Pacific, you can have your own Bulleid steam gala like the Swanage did as well as have it as during the summer so you can recreate The end of Southern steam by withering all the engines as well as bringing in engines who are static display and recreate them into the engines waiting for the scrap yard. Whilst the summer heat could derail the event with the fires you can always have it early before summer but that is up to you and here is who should be at this event. This is just an idea and suggestion you don’t have to do it, but I hope you will consider it 😊 Guests: Tangmere Manston City of Wells 92 Squadron Orient Archibald Sinclair Taw Valley Home-fleet: Canadian Pacific Static fleet in withered condition: S15 Wadebridge Blackmoor Vale Please let me know what you think Kind regards Oscar

Hi team please keep the videos coming please I really enjoy them. Think the biggest problem for all heritage railways from now on will where are the new coal is going to come from as the uk has now stopped burning coal for power hopefully we will see steam running on yours and other heritage railways

[@MichaelSmith-wj8zb]

Love the videos will! A video that would be really good, would be you firing the line, whilst mic’d up and cameras, explaining where your putting the coal and why. Is that something that would be possible?

[@thewatercressline]

Hi there, we can certainly add it to our list! In the meantime you may enjoy this one we did with one of our training team kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKWmf2yXoZVmpKMsi=BLK2jqBZVSQaRFAT

Born 1925. Banging panels on CP aged 16 1941. Now 98/9 years old. How many women in the last Census would fit these criteria? Go for photos. Hit the major archives if not already done. There may always be the one in a million chance of a result. I hope so. The old thousand words adage is never more true than in circumstances such as this. I have no photos of my Grandmother taken during the time from my birth in 1947 to her death in 1973. Thanks to other agencies however, I do have a poignant and powerful image of her aged 8 in 2904, when taken up for adoption. That's how powerful the celluloid image is...

Any updates on swanage?

[@colinthomasson3948]

where was that film of the wartime women working in engineering taken ?

[@grays257]

Probably wartime propaganda films, a lot were made during the war to boost the morale of the population. Just like the cardboard tanks lined up in fields in kent prior to the D Day landings.

[@thewatercressline]

Hi there, those clips were taken from British Council archives so sadly we can't say for definite exactly which works they were filmed at

Those ladies from Eastleigh in 1941 are going to be nearing their century at least!
