The Market Place

Not many brand new things on www.wsr.org.uk of late. Plenty of updated content - news and pictures - of course. A good bit of my time has been taken up with developing the West Somerset Railway Market Place. This is the brainchild of Robin White, Project Director of the Heritage Carriages Project run by the West Somerset Steam Railway Trust and aims to raise funds for the acquisition, restoration, storage, display and running of two full rakes of the best examples of GWR coaching. The new stock will complement the superbly restored GWR Sleeping Car now on display at Bishops Lydeard. The home page for the Market Place can be found at http://www.wssrt.co.uk/marketplace.htm So where does www.wsr.org.uk fit in? Well, the underpinning software, by GPix, requires PHP and a MySql database, and good old Freeola (webhosts for wsr.org.uk) provide both. So the "engine" for the Market Place sits on www.wsr.org.uk - for now!
