NG world loses trio of stalwart figures

摘要

Errol Stafford, 64, the founder of the Sunshine Peat Railway in Northern Ireland, died on March 6 following a six-year battle with leukaemia. The 2ft 6in gauge railway, started in 1996, served a commercial purpose but Errol (a devoted Railway Magazine reader) developed the line as a railway enthusiast. Colin Roobottom, a Talyllyn Railway volunteer for more than half a century, died on February 27 at the age of 80.
