Hello all

I have kept 2 postcards since the mid/late 70's of the Heidelberg Train Museum as it then was - but have only just published them on my Flickr photostream, and in turn the Flickr Clerestory Group.

Now having had a chance to visit in May 2013, there are actually 5 clerestory coaches here, all under cover in an "isolated" shed close by the main line (might have been interesting to see how they got there - was there a spur, or a very expensive road haul?

I guess I'm the nearest? So when I go, I'll add it to my list.

The forum itself has plenty visitors and the peak for most on at one time occurred in january.

Facebook is no competition for a serious forum - it is day to social networking, with a lot of ...
