A Happy New Year to all our readers!

What will this year bring?  I hope some progress on my N-club modules.  And I also hope to see some models on order released – the Rapido N gauge Osgood Bradley coaches and the Farish Birdcages especially.

And to get the New Year’s blogging under way, turning out an old box, I found some UK postal first day covers.  So below, I have a nice set of locomotives from all eras, from  1975.  And even better, a cover that was posted on the last steam train to run in the UK, between Liverpool and Carlisle.
