‘Jubilee’ extravaganza!
THE ONGOING COVID situation is still meaning that railwayana events are being held online instead of live venues. This has both advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage being that the auctions are available to a much wider audience on the internet without the need for physical travel, although the disadvantage is the social side and not being able to meet up with fellow collectors at events.
