I never even wondered what the blackboards on the wagons were for. I just don't have an enquiring mind.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-71082138306547862262013-04-20T18:00:27.922+01:002013-04-20T18:00:27.922+01:00PS.
