Steam on Stackton Tressell
Do my eyes deceive me? Nope! Steam running on Stackton Tressell all right!

Recently, a running night on Stackton Tressell provided steam enthusiasts with the opportunity to put their locos and stock through their paces on the SRC's developing Stackton Tressell layout. More usually the preserve of diesels, Stackton is perfectly capable of running steam.

And now for something completely different...
This bloke REALLY knows what he is doing!

Thanks to Ian Rae for bringing this to the stunned attention of Web Towers.

Linesider for July - more website pictures
You may think of July as being a time for holiday and refreshment. However, your editorial team do not. They think you should be working your way through a chunky edition of the SRC magazine and, bluntly, stuff the winkles and the "Kiss Me Quick" hats.

We provide a wholly new EXTRA feature of large colour reproductions of some of the Linesider photographs. All you have to do is click "MORE".

And now for something completely boring
This could be as boring as watching paint dry, or as waiting for a consultant to say something useful, but we'll include it anyway.

Milborough and a shed
An earlier item on this website looked back to an archive Exhibition Guide. This, in turn, gave rise to an article about Milborough (the SRC's 00 exhibition layout of that time). Now, it appears, we have further diatribes headed in our general direction.

Milborough
When we put a copy of the 1991 Exhibition Guide on the web, we mentioned that it would be rather jolly if someone had any photographs of Milborough (Modern Image Layout - borough - get it?).

Committee Meeting Stuff

Despite signs at the front of the house clearly saying things like "Plague. Keep away!" the Committee turned up in impressive numbers at the home of the Webmaster the other evening to engage in navel studying and portentous uttering.

Maplins

Ron Kington reports that a sign has appeared at premises in Hough Retail Park (next to Comet) in Stafford, indicating that Maplins is to open there.

Times Past
The Webmaster was approached recently by Mr Wardle, the ex-Editor of Linesider.

Knowing Mr Wardle of old, your Webmaster took several steps back, protested his innocence of whatever crime he was about to be thrashed for, and suggested that Mr Wardle should be taking the matter up with Mr Robinson, who was the real culprit.

However, Mr Wardle only wanted to offer some archive material for the Webmaster's inspection.

Has anybody seen a diesel?
Now, here's a treat. Some really good diesel stuff from our Polar Correspondent.

Scott Tracy (pictured to the left) is just a taster. There are some right goodies if you will kindly click "MORE"...

London (Marylebone) to Wrexham
The Hon Treas has been travelling again. This time, he has left his Lear Jet in some sleazy hangar somewhere and has caught a train. Being the Hon Treas, of course, he has his little camera with him. This is so that he may capture his activities for the future education, edification and benefit of the as yet unborn generations. And, being the Hon Treas, he has seen fit to share his experiences with us too. Oh joy, oh rapture!.

What I saw on Whiteacres

Well. You'd go to the foot of your stairs (assuming you didn't live in a bungalow). Whiteacres work is really gathering pace. Loads of chaps were present in the clubroom on Tuesday 17th June, although it has to be conceded that most of them were there in a consuting capacity. Nevertheless, the quality of the consultancy was of an extraorinarily high level and gave those actually working on the project a lot to ignore.

Amerton Steam Gala

Some photographs have come flooding in from Jeff Cogan and Ken Bull. They had the nerve and temerity to attend the Amerton Steam Gala on Saturday 14th June and have sent in evidence which will convict them.

For SRC members, there's the interesting addition of a photograph of a non-steam subject....
