Members of the Midland Railway Society will be receiving their autumn mailing very soon. They are with the printers and will be dispatched any time now – then we are at the mercy of the Royal Mail. Those fine folk have already delayed the process somewhat by failing to deliver the printer’s draft to Howard, the Newsletter Editor, requiring a second one to be sent out when the printers hadn’t heard back from him. There’s always something in this world!
Once the envelope drops on your doormats, here is a taste of what you will enjoy.
As ever, our thanks to Howard and Andrew fro what they produce for us.
