Excellent detail, One can almost make out Landsharkz in the bridge lattice work. (the nearest the spell checker came to Landsharkz was handshake). :unsure:

I've ordered one of these and was wondering if you could give me an idea of the normal amount of time for delivery? I have to get it to Canada for Easter!

 

Ness.

 

The lastest sets of ordered coins was posted out yesterday morning. So hopefully should be with you next week.

Ah, saw the link, clicked through and bought a couple- if you have any control over entry length- worth noting it wouldn't let me enter my email address as it was too long- had to use a backup one, which I prefer not to do with caching stuff, as it's less reliable!

Thanks for the order, coins ordered in the last week, have been posted today so should be with everyone this week.

 

Cheers

Great news, The SVR was officially re-opened yesterday (Thus 20th March)

There is however a dark cloud still hovering over the SVR with the following piece of news from earlier this week

 

"The Severn Valley Railway is still facing a shortfall of between £100,000 and £200,000 as it battles to reach a £3.5 million target to repair its storm-ravaged track."

There are still coins available to order, so nows you chance to help out in reducing the shortfall and get the SVR back on track.

My dad used to be a fireman and then a driver on steam trains, so I just had to get one (well actually two) of these lovely coins. As I was activating them earlier, I wondered if there were any left, so I checked with Stuart. There are only 5 gold coins left (and a few more silver ones) so if anybody has forgotten to order theirs, it might be a good idea to get your order in quick.

Thanks for the coins and good luck with the appeal.

Update time:

 

Well all gold coins are now sold. I've still got stock of silver coins.

 

I'm about to make arrangements with the SVR regarding payment of the raised funds, and providing them with 2 coins in a presentation case with some details about what they are.

 

Cheers
