Smile 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

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 ?
