IT was an honour to stand on stage at the Heritage Railway Association’s annual awards in Birmingham on March 11, and present the Crewe Diesel Preservation Group (CDPG) with the Rail Express Modern Traction Award.
The competition for this category is always tough, each month to see the level of work undertaken by volunteers up and down the country on a range of preservation projects.
