Bad news!:(

The Stanier third open coach caught fire yesterday morning at Wirksworth.
It is thought that welding work late on Sunday evening started something smouldering which later caught fire and made a mess of the interior.
Two fire engines and a dozen firemen attended.

Sad news indeed
Which is why we have to have a 12 hour firewatch on all our dairy pipeline factory welding installs after the last weld
