Rocket for London?
Yesterday - saw an article in the Metro or Evening Standard that the
NRM are to build a demo. track in Hyde Park for the Rocket replica and coaches to run on for tourists. Can't find the article now - it was probably a filler. Anyone got any further details. Thanks - CJB. |

The message
from Arthur Figgis contains these words: The broad gauge Iron Duke replica was demonstrated in the same location in 1985. Indeed, I went to see that one. Did you see the steam loco which ran somewhere near Euston Square? He didn't catch that one... -- Dave, Frodsham http://dave-jackson.fotopic.net |

It has been done before, in 1979: However if the track is on a different alignment or a different length it will have to be done again by all track bashers. -- Nick |
