Mpower Kernow CIC» (Community Interest Company - about) is delighted to finally be able to go public with our exciting plans for the turntable, and an associated workshop at St Blazey.  Our first press release went to Trackside Magazine, with the remainder of the rail press and wider media briefed this week.

https://tracksidemag.imbmsubscriptions.com/current-issue/][url]https://tracksidemag.imbmsubscriptions.com/current-issue/[/url]

Not going to publish the press release yet, as I figure it is important that the media gets a chance to sell magazines, but as one of the directors of this project, I am happy to answer any questions.

Cheers all.

The link looks slightly mixed - let me try:
https://tracksidemag.imbmsubscriptions.com/current-issue/

EDIT - that took me to the page to pay to subscribe to Trackside ... which I think is the intent of the original poster.  Personally, I'll wait for the wider release of information.

An awful lot of work has gone into this TT in the last 4 months.  Dismantled, refurbished, painted and tested with a 66.  Nothing like a deadline to work to.  Bring on the Socttish visitor tomorrow.
