And so to 2025.  The first meeting of the year had been delayed a week for perhaps obvious reasons.  However, we might have done better to meet New Year’s Day.  Redhill was just at the northern limit of Wednesday’s snow in the southeast, and it was difficult to know just how much would arrive.  So we went ahead with the meeting, but very aware that we might have to cancel, or just a few would turn up.

We did end up with a hardy five members, but didn’t run any trains.  We settled for tea and chat, and went home about 9pm.  We’ll try again on Sunday.

So no train pictures, but meanwhile, here are a couple of interesting videos..  I think I have posted this lovely film of the Metropolitan Railway in 1910 – the green surroundings are just a little different from today.

Still one of the best… Peter Denny talks about Buckingham.

And some of the more interesting RAF aircraft.  I do rather like the 1930’s biplanes…
