Hello from Grundisburgh Hall
 

:)

Hello Everyone.
I have a little bit of railway background.
1 Grandfather was stationmaster at Portland
Other Grandfather & uncle were GWR drivers
So hopefully I can qualify :)
After a bit of help here please? (I'm a girl so do excuse me)
We have Grundisburgh Hall name plate & No. 6977

What I would dearly like is a photo of this wonderful train.
Warm regards

I believe they have a photo (or photos) of the said locomotive.. 4-6-0 6977 Grundisburgh Hall in the shed yard at Shrewsbury in 1960

Thank you ♥
 

Many many thanks, I've ordered a photo.
I can't believe we found it so quickly. After years of searching
Thank you again ♥

Welcome to the Forum Grundisburgh Hall. Look forward to more news of "Your" Locomotive!

Glad to be of help.

I suppose the picture you are ordering will be subject to copyright ? If not it would be nice to see a copy of it on here.

Is Grundisburgh Hall named after the one in Norfolk ? Or is there another one somewhere else ?
