We outline some of the technical background to achieving mainline operation and note we have finally found the traction motors we need. We discuss our mission to film individuals connected with the Belle, starting with a long interview with 90 year old Jim Bishop, chargehand of the paint shop at Preston Park Pullman Works, from just after the war until British Rail took over. And we finally discover where that Pullman key cabinet came from. All this and more in Newsletter No. 3.
