		And it was those words that were coursing through my mind last week when I visited the Nene Valley Railway for a morning on the travelling post office.
		As the son of a retired trainspotter, I have lots of memories of visiting the Nene Valley Railway, and various other steam lines when I was young, so I felt quite at home on Wansford station surrounded by the volunteers who ensure the line keeps running.
		But the Nene Valley is planning to offer travelling post office days in the future, as volunteers work on reconstructing a former tender.

	South Devon Railway - Dumbleton Hall Lives !! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		A little while ago we reported that 4920 had failed on the Nene Valley Railway (NVR) with a loose left hand piston head, this was repaired by using an old piston from our other large GWR tender locomotive 3803.
		The 9th September saw Dumbleton Hall, recently back from hire on the Nene Valley Railway, in steam at Buckfastleigh for the very first time.
		With an axleweight of 18 tons 19cwt it is too heavy for the top end of the branch but it is hoped that HMRI will grant permission to run it between Staverton and Totnes where there are no limiting structures to prevent its use.
