I've had more feedback regarding our recent TRM loco special.

Mike Wetton sent this email:

"Dear sir, last week I was telling Yvonne and Russell Evans about a photo I'd seen in a railway publication named Britain's Railways in the 1960s, showing a locomotive. 7829 Ramsbury Manor, taken in colour as it departed Neyland Station on May 25.

The credit states: All rail facilities were proposed for withdrawal at Neyland, leading to high unemployment in the area. 7829 Ramsbury Manor, just 13 years old, is seen departing Neyland on May 25, 1963. Later, all staff at Neyland were made redundant, leaving most people in the village out of work as it was their only source of employment.

"The photo is credited to R. Patterson colourrail.com.

"Then, by coincidence, in your publication Western Telegraph dated Wednesday, September 22, you have printed a superb black and white shot of New Milford Neyland Station which Yvonne has kindly passed on to me."

Thanks Mike, and for the snap of 7829 Ramsbury Manor.

I think we're overdue a look back into the archives of our TRM Trawler Corner, where this week, we find the 'London Town L070,' a steel sided trawler built in 1960 in Beverley. 228 tons, 105' long.

Local owners in 1981: Putford Enterprise, Milford - John Rogers/ Anthony James/ Gavin Phillips/ Kenneth Lodge/ Pino Antoniazzi.

She landed at Milford from 1981 to 1984 and was skippered by John Rogers.

And here's a cutting from the West Wales Guardian of October 30, 1981.

"On Monday, the Milford Haven trawler broke all previous records with a £13,500 catch. What's more, the crew did it in their own trawler. The 'London Town' is the first of Milford's traditional fleet to be bought by a co-operative, and it shattered the previous best catch by £2,000. Skipper John Rogers, who has become the port's best paid trawlerman, commented that this will hopefully encourage others to buy their own trawlers.

"The 'London Town' arrived at the port two months ago, after it had been laid up in Fleetwood for more than 12 months. It is now Milford's largest trawler. Mr Rogers, who earned £1,100 for the ten-day trip, took the trawler to the east coast of Ireland and landed 292 kits of fish, each kit weighing 12 stones. The catch included 20 boxes of sole and turbot, 120 of best roker and plaice, which is also in great demand at the local fish market.

"The trawler cost the partnership £30,000 and the men spent several days painting and carrying out maintenance work to prepare it for sea."

'London Town' was finally broken up in Vigo in July 1992, and here's a pic of her.

Teaser time. Last week's: Can you name three consecutive days in English, without using the words Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday? My answer was yesterday, today and tomorrow, but there were a few who rightly pointed out to me that Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day also fits the bill, so I'm accepting both answers. And the brain boxes this week are Greywolf 1954, Les Haynes, Elinor Jones, Tricia Hawthorn, Cynthia Edwards, Tom Brown, Margaret Jones, Phil Jones.

No TRM next week, so keep those little grey cells ticking over until I'm back.

The third snap this week comes courtesy of one of my old Vicary Street neighbours, Brian Oughton, and shows a gang of lads dressed up for the 1947 Pill Carnival.

They are: STANDING L-R - Tom Hurbert, Jim Marchant, Brian Oughton, Richard Phillips

KNEELING L-R - Dickie Marchant, Barrie Oughton and Ernie Byrant

So, as The Moody Blues once told us, it's time to 'Go now,' and I'll leave you with this thought: How old would you think you were if you didn't know how old you are ?

Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to contact me re TRM, it's very much appreciated.

Take care, and please stay safe.
