Great news, we have the second batch of the new pens in dark blue!!! Yes, you can now have a two pen set with the words tram 53 on, wild eh? Members £1.50, non members £2.00 per pen, will put up photos soon. On a more mundane level, if anyone is interested, we now own a complete set of lower saloon lights, curtain hooks, a platform step, door lock and latch, saloon door hangers, some original seat fabric, another door step with BTC on and some interior wood work , as well as two full sets of door handles, quarter light wood supports , and bell mountings for the lower saloon. Might put some pics up, if anyone wants, let me know, yawn.Oh, there might be a slim chance of a saloon door, but .....

Please note, i cannot make this Sunday, so I will be out at 53 on Saturday for a few hours, you are welcome to join me if that is easier, otherwise best of luck for Sunday!

H. C.V S rally, 5th of May.

5th of May, HCVS rally, Brighton.

The early morning sun caught El Presidente stumbling from his bed after a fun gig in Rotherfield. I met up with Gordon Dinnage to set up shop on Brighton seafront for the H.C.V.S rally. John Hayward, Malcolm Chambers and Ian and Margaret Fairhead were also in attendance.After watching a white van been towed off the site we set up the stand, which gradually collected money through out the day. A fantastic procession of commercial vehicles appeared and we saw some superb examples of vehicle preservation.We raised the grand sum of £92.50, an excellent result and we have an offer of some "F" class tram spares, more on that soon. If you haven't joined and are reading this, join now,things are happening....
