SMJ ADVERT
Hello,
Here's an advertisement for our line. I beleive it is from the Railway Year Book. It is undated but as it is advertising the Shakespeare Tercentenery, I beleive that dates it to 1916. Through carriages via the Woodford link are mentioned as well as links via LNWR and Midland Railways. For me, the advertising of my "local" station of Morton Pinkney as detraining point for Sulgrave Manor is interesting. What I really love about this though is the promotion of Goods Services and it's "modernistic" 3 link coupling logo.

Hi Andy,
Been far away with work then caught chicken pox! I am now back in UK for a while. I will re-start my contact with the authorities at Kineton again once I clear my desk. All is well and I have even found some time to do some SMJ modelling. Hope all is well with you too.
